Check the area around this school
8th of 55 primary schools in Trafford we can score, 63 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.8/10 against 3,495 of them, against 9.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 88.0 · 96 | 40% | 3.85 |
| Ofsted | 90 | 35% | 3.17 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 21.0 · 93 | 25% | 2.32 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
All Saints' Catholic Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 88.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. 21.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted inspected the school in February 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.

What Ofsted said about All Saints' Catholic Primary School
Overview
All Saints' Catholic Primary School is described as a place where pupils are "highly prepared for life beyond the school" and feel safe. The report highlights "strong standard" performance in attendance, behaviour, early years, inclusion, and personal development, alongside "expected standard" outcomes for achievement, curriculum, and leadership.
Strengths
- Attendance systems are effective, with disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs attending "as often as they can".
- Behaviour is consistently positive, with bullying and discrimination being "extremely rare".
- The early years provide a "wonderful platform" with "caring and compassionate relationships" and effective phonics teaching.
- Leaders have established a "highly inclusive culture" where barriers to learning are removed quickly for all pupils.
- Pupils develop as "curious, resilient and increasingly independent individuals" with a strong moral purpose.
Areas to improve
- In subjects other than reading, writing, and mathematics, the curriculum is not always covered in sufficient detail, leaving some pupils with "gaps in their knowledge".
- Teaching in a small number of subjects is variable, with important knowledge sometimes not taught in "sufficient depth".
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing "an open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns actively managed.
