About Moorhill Primary School

Moorhill Primary School sits at the very bottom of the Cannock Chase local authority rankings for primary schools, placing 205th out of 308 schools in Staffordshire. Its headline Key Stage 2 results are significantly below the LA average of 65% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, with just 22% of Moorhill pupils achieving that benchmark. The school's ranking score of 22 out of 100 places it in the bottom 50 nationally, and within Cannock Chase it ranks 23rd out of 23 schools. These figures paint a stark picture of academic underperformance compared with the wider local picture, though the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Good overall, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018.
