About Stanley Road Primary School

Stanley Road Primary School in Worcester was rated Requires Improvement by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2023, a downgrade from the Good rating it had held in its previous inspection. The overall effectiveness score of 3 reflects a drop in the quality of education, which was also judged to require improvement. However, other areas remained strong: behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management were all rated Good, while early years provision also held a Good rating. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where just 39% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is well below the Worcestershire local authority average of 61% and places the school 17th out of 18 primary schools in Worcester, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally.
