About The Richard Crosse CofE Primary School

If you compare The Richard Crosse CofE Primary School against the Staffordshire local authority average for Key Stage 2, the difference is striking. Across the LA, 65% of pupils typically reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, but at this school that figure jumps to 82%. That puts it comfortably ahead of the county norm, and the school ranks 6th out of 34 primary schools in Lichfield, placing it in the top 10% locally. It also performs well regionally, sitting in the top 8% of West Midlands primaries. The school is a Church of England state primary for mixed genders, ages 3 to 11, and is currently rated Good by Ofsted following its November 2023 inspection. That inspection marked a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2011, but the report still awarded Outstanding grades for personal development and for behaviour and attitudes, suggesting the school retains real strengths in those areas.
