Oakridge Primary School
About Oakridge Primary School
Oakridge Primary School sits within Staffordshire’s local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11, and it has carved out a strong reputation among its peers. In the Stafford area, it ranks 6th out of 34 primary schools, placing it comfortably in the top tier locally. Its nearest Outstanding-rated neighbour is Berkswich CofE (VC) Primary School, just 0. 6 km away, but Oakridge holds its own against the top three in the LA — St John’s Catholic Primary, Needwood CofE Primary, and Woodseaves CE Primary Academy — all of which share the same top ranking score. With 20 Outstanding schools across Staffordshire’s 308 primaries, Oakridge is in select company. The school is led by headteacher Luke Wylde and has a capacity of 210 pupils, though it currently enrols 216, a slight oversubscription that reflects its draw. Only 2. 3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average, and the school does not have a religious character.
