All Hallows Catholic College
Macclesfield, SK11 8LB · Cheshire East · secondary school
6th of 22 secondary schools in Cheshire East we can score, 23 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 865 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9/10 among them, against 6.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 53.1 · 71 | 46% | 3.27 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.0 · 50 | 38% | 1.94 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 49.6 · 69 | 15% | 1.06 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 53.1% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 49.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.0 in 2023/24, meaning pupils performed as well as those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9 out of 10 among them, against 6.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in an India Immersion Visit.
Getting in. The school has 1251 pupils in a school with 1200 places, over capacity by 51. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity during the admissions process? What support is available for pupils who need to catch up on their progress? How does the India Immersion Visit integrate with the wider curriculum?
