Statham Primary School

General Information

Address: Warrington Road, Statham, Lymm, WA13 9BE – View on map
Phone: 01925752142
Website: Visit school website
Headteacher: Mrs Jane Rooney
Age range: 4-11 years
Intake: Mixed
Religious character: Does not apply
Nursery provision: No

Who goes here

203 pupils out of 210 places At or near capacity

Pupils eligible for free school meals: 45
% eligible for free school meals: 22.2%
Pupil mix: 3 in 10 (less mixed than the Warrington average)
English as an additional language: 19% (England 22%)

Staff

Teachers leaving each year

Teacher turnover: 6.4% a year (Warrington 13.3%, typical in England 13.9%)
Where they went: about 100% moved to another school, 0% left state schools altogether (retirement, other careers, independent schools, abroad)
Data years: 2022/23 to 2024/25 (average of 3 years, DfE school workforce census)

Teachers who moved school or left state schools in the year after each November, as a share of all the school's teachers. Some turnover is healthy – retirements, promotions, moving house. This is a small staff, so one or two teachers leaving moves the figure a lot.

Behaviour

Awaiting Data

About this Behaviour status

We've asked this school for real behaviour figures under Freedom of Information and haven't had a response yet.

Across Warrington: suspensions by reason

Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 1 (0.1 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 0
Suspensions for bullying: 1 (0.1 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 0 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.0)
Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state primary schools in Warrington, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.

Attendance

Overall absence: 4.1%
Persistently absent pupils: 8.1%
Data year: 2024/25

About persistent absence

A pupil is counted as "persistently absent" if they miss 10% or more of their possible school sessions - roughly one day in every two weeks. Schools and Ofsted both pay close attention to this figure specifically, since it can highlight a pattern the overall absence rate alone might hide.

SEN

Resourced Provision

SEN Unit and Resourced Provision

Most mainstream schools don't have a dedicated SEN Unit or Resourced Provision - it isn't a mark against a school that doesn't, just a different kind of setup than one that does.

Pupils on SEN Support: 4.9%
Pupils with an EHC Plan: 12.8%
Data year: 2025/26

Most common needs - SEN Support

Moderate learning difficulty: 4 pupils
Social, emotional and mental health: 2 pupils
Speech, language and communications needs: 2 pupils
Autistic spectrum disorder: 1 pupil
Specific learning difficulty: 1 pupil

Most common needs - EHC Plan

Autistic spectrum disorder: 10 pupils
Physical disability: 6 pupils
Speech, language and communications needs: 6 pupils
Social, emotional and mental health: 3 pupils
Moderate learning difficulty: 1 pupil

These figures show the makeup of the school.

About these SEND figures

These figures give a sense of the makeup of the school - they aren't a judgement on the quality of support provided.

About this Ofsted rating

Ofsted changed how it rates schools in the last couple of years, so ratings from different years aren't always on the same scale - that's why we show the year alongside every rating.

Year 6 SATs ranking

Junior and primary schools in this area, ranked by the % of Year 6 pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (official DfE results, 2024/25). Schools with the same result share a place (shown as =). In small schools one or two children can move a school several places, so treat close positions as roughly equal.
