"Fantastic work from all staff to ensure all children are happy and secure at school, interested in their learning and making fab progress. The safeguarding at this school is fab, children feel they are safe and can approach staff to discuss anything and that staff will listen to them. I couldn't be more pleased with the school's work."

"The school has exceptionally high standards and treats all children and parents with respect. All children's needs are met to the highest standards. The school has a warm welcoming nature where staff are working really hard to do their best, always challenging children to be the best they can be. I really couldn't fault the school in anything!"

Visitor Comments

Each year, we host a significant number of teachers and school leaders who are keen to find out more about the way we do things at Stanley Road. In particular, visitors come to see our 'three pillars' in action - exemplary behaviour, a knowledge-rich curriculum and explicit teaching.  Here are a selection of comments made by visitors to school...
"Had a wonderful day at Stanley Road Primary. Plenty of wonderful academic learning where students are happy to demonstrate what they know and behave impeccably. Everyone should visit if they can!"
Neil Almond, School Leader, London

"Enjoyed visiting Stanley Road today. I've worked in literally hundreds of schools during my career and this was by far the calmest. It wasn't 'strict' teachers demanding quiet with a 'zero tolerance' approach - just all staff working together to build a culture."
Jimmy Rotherham, Music Teacher, Leeds.

"Such impeccable behaviour in a lovely warm environment."
Allison Ash, Headteacher, Brian Clarke Academy, Oldham

"Wow! Stanley Road Primary School... incredible! I am so impressed with the excellent behaviour, focus and enthusiasm shown by all students consistently across the school. I want to teach here! Ambitious and rigorous knowledge-rich curriculum embedded. Thank you!"
Kate Jones, Teacher, Author, North Wales

"It was amazing to see your curriculum in action! The children were just fantastic in their ability to talk about their learning and the consistent knowledge-rich curriculum on offer at Stanley Road everyday! A very special place!"
Mrs Marshall, Headteacher, Northamptonshire

"I'm not showing off or anything but today I got to go to Stanley Road Primary School with my colleagues and it blew our socks off. So many highlights but Year 2's choral poetry recital was pure joy."
Jon Hutchinson,  Director of Training and Development at the Reach Foundation

"I would thoroughly recommend visiting Stanley Road to anybody who wants to know how to build a knowledge-rich curriculum that is implemented with thought and care."
​Steve Davis, Headteacher, Huntingdon
