All Saints Church of England Primary School Stockport

All Saints Church of England Primary School Stockport is a happy, welcoming school where staff know pupils and families well and relationships are strong. Since the previous inspection, leaders have raised expectations and managed significant staffing change while redesigning curriculums to be more ambitious. Pupils generally behave well, have positive attitudes to learning, and benefit from a broad personal development offer, including trips, roles and clubs. Early years provision and reading are particular strengths, and safeguarding is effective. However, the quality of education requires improvement because the improved curriculums are still at an early stage in several subjects. Delivery is inconsistent, pupils' knowledge gaps persist, and teachers do not always check that pupils are secure with prior learning before moving on. Pupils with SEND are identified promptly, but staff are not yet consistently adapting teaching to meet their needs, so some do not access the curriculum well. Consequently, pupils, including those with SEND, are not achieving as well as they should. The school has strong leadership and governance, and staff value the clear direction and manageable workload. Attendance is improving through swift support for pupils and families, and pupils are polite, caring and respectful of diversity. This was a graded inspection, and schools inspected from September 2024 are not given an overall effectiveness grade; the headteacher was appointed in January 2024 and there have been several new staff appointments since the previous inspection.

Admissions: local authority offers data from the Department for Education. A school is oversubscribed when at least 5% of the families who put it first were not offered a place, and undersubscribed when everyone who put it first got in but 10% or more of its places were unfilled in the Department's school capacity survey (the latest survey is used for entry years it does not cover). Places: Department for Education, School capacity, from local authorities' annual survey as at 1 May. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024–25); the survey was not run in 2020. Places include sixth form places. Forecasts are the local authority's own for the school's planning area, an area it uses to plan places that is not the school's catchment area. The forecast starts from a head count in 2025; the dashed line is the Department's estimate of places in that area, including those the authority has firm plans for. Planned places are cumulative, and only those with firm plans are counted.

Sessions missed

Pupils persistently absent

Source: Department for Education, Pupil absence in schools in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Persistent absence means missing 10% or more of sessions; severe absence means 50% or more. No figures were published for 2019/20.

Pupils suspended at least once

Source: Department for Education, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). A pupil can be suspended more than once, so suspensions per 100 pupils can be higher than the share of pupils suspended. Very small numbers are hidden by the DfE. Exclusion figures dropped in 2020 and 2021 because of school closures.

Pupils per teacher

Teachers who left the school within a year

Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.

Pupils by main type of need

Source: Department for Education, Special educational needs in England (the 2025–26 school census). SEN support is extra help in school without an EHC plan. National figures are for all state-funded primary schools. Counts are as published, with small numbers not hidden.
