Stamford Bridge Primary School

About Stamford Bridge Primary School

Stamford Bridge Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results comfortably outpace the local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 academic year, 71% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with an East Riding average of 61%. That ten-point gap places the school in the top quarter of primaries across the local authority, ranking 27th out of 106 schools. The school also performs well on the higher standard, with 32% of pupils achieving greater depth in maths and 13% in reading, though the combined higher figure sits at just 3%. Average scaled scores are 105 in maths and 104 in reading, both above the national benchmark of 100. Nationally, the school sits in the 28th percentile, meaning it outperforms over a quarter of all primary schools in England. This is a school that delivers solidly above-average academic outcomes for its pupils, particularly in maths, where the proportion reaching the expected standard is 81%.

Ofsted’s most recent graded inspection, in June 2025, rated the school Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. This marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2013, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. The ungraded inspection that followed in 2025 confirmed that standards have been maintained. Parent feedback is overwhelmingly positive: 91% of respondents would recommend the school, and 95% either agree or strongly agree that their child is happy. Strong majorities also feel their child is safe (98%) and that the school has high expectations (89%). The school’s SEND provision covers a broad range of needs, including dyslexia, speech and language difficulties, autistic spectrum disorder and physical disabilities. Among parents with SEND children, 80% agreed or strongly agreed that the school provides the support needed, though 12% strongly disagreed, suggesting some room for improvement in that area.

The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 55 applications for 44 places and 46 first-preference applications, giving a ratio of 1.25 applicants per place. It offers a nursery provision for children from age three, and the school’s facilities include a library, playing fields, a forest school area and a dining hall. A chapel is also listed among the facilities, despite the school having no religious character. Extracurricular options include netball, tennis, football, cross country, dance, chess, choir and drama. With 312 pupils on roll against a capacity of 333, there is a small amount of headroom, but the oversubscription means families living outside the catchment should check the admissions criteria carefully. This is a well-regarded village primary that suits families looking for strong academic results, a broad range of clubs and a clear sense of community, backed by a Good Ofsted rating and very high parental satisfaction.
