About Shipston-on-Stour Primary School

Shipston-on-Stour Primary School sits comfortably above the Warwickshire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 71% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the LA average of 62%. That nine-point gap is a meaningful one, placing the school in the top quarter of primary schools within the local authority, ranked 47th out of 196. The school’s overall Ofsted rating is Good, confirmed by an ungraded inspection in 2023 that found it remains Good. This is a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2010, but the inspection team judged both leadership and management and the quality of education as Good, with no areas flagged as requiring improvement. For parents weighing up options in the Stratford-on-Avon area, these headline figures suggest a solid, above-average performer that delivers consistently on the basics.
