About Stock Church of England Primary School

Stock Church of England Primary School sits within the Essex local authority, where it ranks 8th out of 41 primary schools in the Chelmsford area and places comfortably in the top 25% nationally for its Key Stage 2 expected standard in reading, writing and maths. Among its closest peers in the LA, it trails the top-scoring trio of Stambridge Primary School, St Thomas More's Catholic Primary School in Colchester, and Great Totham Primary School, but still holds its own as a strong local option. The school is a state-funded, mixed Church of England primary for children aged 4 to 11, with headteacher Gareth Roberts at the helm. It is almost at full capacity with 209 pupils against a maximum of 210, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains a Good school, a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2012.
