Mellor Primary School
About Mellor Primary School
Mellor Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2013, with an ungraded visit in 2022 confirming the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: 70% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, placing the school above the Stockport local authority average of 62%. This places Mellor 28th out of 67 primary schools in Stockport, and in the top 50% nationally. The school's previous Ofsted inspection in 2008 rated it Outstanding overall, so the current Good rating represents a measured step down, but the ungraded inspection found no cause to change the grade. Leadership and management, as well as the quality of education, were both judged Good in the graded inspection, with no specific breakdowns available for behaviour or personal development from that visit.
