Stalyhill Infant School
About Stalyhill Infant School
Stalyhill Infant School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2012, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed that the school remains Good. That 2022 visit found leadership and management still effective, with the overall effectiveness unchanged from the previous full inspection. For a school that only covers Reception to Year 2, the most telling academic metric is the local authority’s Key Stage 2 average, which sits at 62 for Tameside primary schools. While Stalyhill’s pupils move on to junior school before sitting SATs, the LA benchmark gives parents a sense of the academic environment their child will be entering. The school’s most recent Ofsted report noted that early years provision was previously graded as satisfactory (a 2 on the old scale), but the 2022 ungraded visit did not reassess that specific area. What is clear is that the school has held a consistent Good rating across both its inspections, with no signs of decline.
