The school educates roughly 109 pupils aged 4 to 11. 63% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 4.0 percentage points year on year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 35% of primary schools nationally.

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Styal Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 12 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 7.7%. There are about 18.5 pupils per teacher. Styal Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
