St Bartholomew's Church of England Primary School

About St Bartholomew's Church of England Primary School

St Bartholomew's Church of England Primary School sits in a local authority where 20 out of 308 primary schools are rated Outstanding, but its own most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 placed it at Requires Improvement across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That is a clear step down from its previous Good rating in 2010, and it puts the school well below the Staffordshire average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, which sits at 65 per cent of pupils meeting the expected standard. For parents comparing headline metrics, this is a school that has lost ground relative to its peers. The three top-performing primaries in the LA — St John's Catholic, Woodseaves CE Primary Academy and Needwood CofE Primary — all achieve the maximum ranking score, while St Bartholomew's is now in the Requires Improvement bracket, a category that covers the majority of schools in the authority.
