About Queensgate Primary School

Queensgate Primary School was judged Outstanding in every category of its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a rating it has now held across two consecutive inspections dating back to 2008. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: 71% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, well above the Stockport local authority average of 62%. That places Queensgate 22nd out of 86 primary schools in the borough and in the top 50% nationally. The school’s reading average score of 109 and maths average score of 107 both comfortably exceed the national expectation of 100, while 55% of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading and 37% did so in maths. Only 4.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average, which may partly explain the strong results, but the school’s consistency across all subjects suggests effective teaching across the board.
