Stanley Road Primary School

Stanley Road Primary School is performing at a strong standard, reflecting effective leadership and a commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. The school has made significant progress in attendance, with rates now broadly aligning with national averages. Pupils generally exhibit positive attitudes towards learning, feeling safe and well-supported in a warm school culture. The curriculum is ambitious and successfully tailored to meet the needs of all students, especially those who speak English as an additional language and those with special educational needs. However, challenges remain with overall pupil achievement, as national assessment outcomes indicate that some performance metrics fall below average, highlighting a need for ongoing improvement efforts. The school is part of the Perry Hall multi-academy trust and has established a strong community ethos, celebrating diverse backgrounds and providing numerous opportunities for pupils to engage with their local environment. Although attendance has improved and behavior is commendable, leaders recognize that pupil achievement, particularly in national assessments for phonics and mathematics, still requires attention to ensure that results meet national standards effectively. Leaders are proactive in addressing these areas for improvement as they strive to enhance educational outcomes for all pupils.
