What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 April 2024
Stanley (Crook) is a vibrant school. Happy pupils, happy staff, and a supportive community help to make memories for the pupils which they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Pupils have high aspirations. These are born out of the high ambitions the school has for all. The pupils enjoy learning. They build their knowledge in a broad range of subjects extremely well over time. When pupils leave school at the end of Year 6, they are ready academically and socially for the next step in their education. In external assessments, pupils do very well and compare favourably with national outcomes. Learning is not restricted to the classrooms. The environment helps to enhance learning opportunities in corridors, in the playground, in the forest area and in dedicated outside science areas. Interactions between staff and pupils are warm, meaningful and respectful. Behaviour is excellent. From the youngest to oldest pupils there is a sense of pride in their school. There is a high number of pupils who take part in the abundance of extra-curricular clubs. They enjoy activities which range from martial arts to working with the local constabulary to improve the local community.
