About schools in Stockport

How many schools are there in Stockport?
Stockport has 134 open schools — 89 primary, 14 secondary, 11 special, 3 nursery, teaching 47,104 pupils in total.
How many schools in Stockport are rated Good or Outstanding?
88 of the 105 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 84% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 11 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 134: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
What is the average Academic Performance in Stockport?
4.9 out of 10, averaged across the 112 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
Why do some Stockport schools have no Ofsted rating?
29 schools in Stockport currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
What does Stockport local authority do?
A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. Stockport covers 134 schools and sits in the North West region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
How many pupils in Stockport are eligible for free school meals?
22.5% — 9,649 of 42,835 pupils at the 115 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
