What Stoke Lodge Primary School does

Stoke Lodge Primary School is a state-funded primary school located in Patchway, South Gloucestershire, serving children aged 4-11 across the EYFS, Key Stage 1, and Key Stage 2 phases. The school operates approximately 13 classes under the Olympus Academy Trust, a multi-academy trust that governs nine schools in the region, and converted to academy status in 2012. Its educational delivery is built around proprietary in-trust pedagogical frameworks called the 'Curious Curriculum' and 'UNLEASHED', alongside standard UK national curriculum requirements.

The school's operational stack includes several third-party education technology partnerships: Seesaw for blended learning and parent communication, Arbor Education for payments and administration, and Shine for wraparound (before- and after-school) care services. A new catering provider was onboarded in August 2024. As a state-funded institution, Stoke Lodge Primary School's core revenue is derived from government per-pupil funding, supplemented by pupil premium grants, sports premium allocations, facility lettings, and fees from wraparound care and meal services. The OFSTED rating is Good, and the school functions as a community-embedded educational provider within a defined local catchment area, with no commercial product or geographic expansion strategy evident.
