About St Werburgh's CE (A) Primary School

St Werburgh's CE (A) Primary School in Staffordshire Moorlands holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a change from the Outstanding grade it received in its previous inspection in 2012. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: only 50% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well below the Staffordshire local authority average of 65%, placing the school 178th out of 308 similar schools in the county. In the local authority ranking for Staffordshire Moorlands specifically, it ranks 18th out of 19 primary schools, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. The school's reading and maths average scores both sit at 103, which is exactly the national average, but the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in these subjects is relatively low — 29% in reading and maths, and just 17% in writing.
