About Stonebow Primary School Loughborough
Stonebow Primary School Loughborough was rated Good overall by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school's most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment: 76% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well above the Leicestershire local authority average of 62%, placing Stonebow in the top 25% of primary schools nationally and ranking it 9th out of 45 schools in the Charnwood local area. The school's average scaled scores in reading (107) and maths (106) also comfortably exceed the national baseline of 100, and 32% of pupils achieved the higher standard in maths. This strong performance is consistent across the board, with 92% of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading and 80% in writing.
