St John's Primary Academy

About St John's Primary Academy

St John's Primary Academy in South Staffordshire holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. The school was previously rated Outstanding in 2009, and while the overall grade has dropped, inspectors awarded Outstanding marks in three of the four sub-categories: early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. Leadership and management also earned Outstanding. The only area rated Good was quality of education. This suggests the school remains strong on pastoral care and early years, but academic delivery has slipped relative to its former standard. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 70%. That is five points above the Staffordshire local authority average of 65%, placing St John's in the top half of primary schools nationally and 11th out of 18 schools in the South Staffordshire district.
