About Prospect Vale Primary School

Prospect Vale Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit slightly below the Stockport local authority average, with 58% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a LA average of 62%. That four-point gap places the school 38th out of 67 primaries in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of local schools. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 77% of pupils hit the expected standard in both reading and writing, and 71% did so in maths. Reading scores are a particular strength, with an average scaled score of 105 and 32% of pupils reaching the higher standard — well above the 13% who achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects. The school’s national percentile ranking of roughly 61st places it in the middle of the pack nationally, so while it isn’t outperforming its immediate neighbours, it’s delivering solid, broadly average outcomes for a state primary.
