About Stambridge Primary School

Stambridge Primary School’s headline metrics put it in a league of its own compared with the Essex local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 62%, Stambridge achieved a perfect 100% in its most recent KS2 assessments. That result places the school first out of 19 primaries in the Rochford district and in the top 0.2% nationally. The school’s average reading score of 108 and maths score of 105 also reflect strong performance, with half of pupils reaching the higher standard in reading and a third doing so in writing. These figures are all the more striking given the school’s small size — just 84 pupils on roll — and its 15.4% rate of pupils eligible for free school meals, which is close to the national average for state primaries.
