About St George's Church of England Primary School

St George’s Church of England Primary School in Stockport sits well below the local authority average on the headline KS2 measure. Just 43% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Stockport average of 62% for primary schools. That gap of 19 percentage points places the school in the bottom half of the LA ranking — 59th out of 67 primaries — and in the bottom 50% nationally. The school’s ranking score of 43 reflects this, and its nearest outstanding alternative, Alexandra Park Primary, is only 1.7 km away. For parents weighing up options, the contrast with local peers is sharp: top-performing schools like Gatley Primary and St John’s CE Primary score 95 and 90 respectively. St George’s is oversubscribed — 92 applications for 29 places in 2025/26 — but that may reflect its Church of England character and local reputation rather than headline academic performance.
