About Stone with Woodford Church of England Primary School
Stone with Woodford Church of England Primary School has been rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The inspection, carried out in April 2025, awarded Good marks for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. But the real story is in the school's academic outcomes. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 85% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure puts the school well ahead of the Gloucestershire local authority average of 59% for primary schools. It also places Stone with Woodford third out of 52 primary schools in the Stroud area, and in the top 5% nationally. Average scores in reading (108) and maths (106) are both above the national benchmark of 100, and 8% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.
