Common questions
- Which is the best primary school in Stockport?
- By 2024/25 exam results alone, Gatley Primary School ranks first of 61 ranked primary schools in Stockport, with 93% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. Results reflect each school's cohort as well as its teaching, so treat the ranking as a starting point rather than a verdict.
- How are schools in Stockport ranked?
- Primary schools are ranked by the share of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths in 2024/25, from the Department for Education's published results.

- 61 primary schools in Stockport published 2024/25 results and are ranked here. Schools without published results, special schools and independent schools are listed on the area's own page instead.
