Stanton Road Primary School
Stanton Road Primary School is a school situated on Stanton Road, Beington on the Wirral peninsula. It offers education from the ages of 4 up to 11.

Classes
Year classes used to be separated but now teachers will teach classes of the follwoing year groups:

. Reception and Year 1

. Year 2

. Year 3 and Year 4

. Year 5 and Year 6

Years 1 and 2 used to be mixed into the same classes until a recent reform. The school said it would never join the Year 5 and 6 groups together but it eventually did.

Pupils
At present the there are 299 pupils attending the school and this is around the average number.

All Year 6 pupils have the choice of sitting the 11+ paper to attend the six grammar schools on the wirral. Calday for Boys, St Anslems for Boys, West Kirby for Girls, Upton for Girls, and the two Wirral Grammar schools which are on an adjoining woad to Stanton Road. Only a small minority of the Year 6 pupils sit the exam. Around 10-15 pupils will pass the 11+ each year.

Houses
When students enter the junior end of the school they will be sorted into houses: Brimstage, Clatterbridge, Dibbensdale and Spital.

A point system is introduced, with points being rewarded for quality of work, effort and other achievenments by the pupil.

The houses contest in various sports including football, netball, rounders, cricket, running and tag rugby. At the end of the year a sports day will take place with the infants racing in the morning and the juniors in the afternoon. Points will be given to each house depending on their respective position in the race. The winners are the team with the most points.

Recently Spital broke Brimstage's amazing run of 12 consecutive wins on sports day.

Plays
Each year the school will present two plays to the remainder of the school and the parents. In December the infants with a minority of year 3's will present a navity play. At the end of the school year the year 6's will also present a play that they have either made up or a well recognised play. This is again shown to the remainder of the school and the year 6 parents. This play takes place after all the year 6 exams (i.e. 11+ and SATs).
