Stalyhill Junior School
About Stalyhill Junior School
Stalyhill Junior School is a state primary in Tameside for children aged 7 to 11, and the experience of current families is a key starting point for any parent considering it. The school is popular enough to be oversubscribed: it has 230 pupils against a capacity of 240, meaning places are tight. While the school does not publish a parent-view survey recommendation percentage, the fact that it is nearly full suggests a solid local reputation. Headteacher Lisa Lockett leads a mixed-gender, non-religious school where 12.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is in line with typical primary levels. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in July 2024, confirmed that the school 'remains Good' – a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2015. The school also offers a Sensory Room and a Forest School, which hints at a thoughtful approach to different learning needs.
