All Saints Primary School
Manchester, M12 5PW · Manchester · primary school
93rd of 123 primary schools in Manchester we can score, 137 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 2.3/10 against 695 of them, against 1.7/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 41.0 · 9 | 40% | 0.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about All Saints Primary School
Overview
All Saints Primary School is a happy place where pupils feel safe, supported, and enjoy learning. Leaders have established high expectations for conduct and achievement, resulting in positive relationships and an ambitious curriculum that prepares children well for future learning.
Strengths
- Pupils are "happy at this school," reporting that "learning is fun" and that they have "lots of friends."
- Leaders have developed an "ambitious curriculum" with careful thought given to the sequence of knowledge, which "clearly builds from the early years to Year 6."
- Teachers possess "good subject knowledge," explain new learning clearly, and effectively check pupil understanding to help them "build on their knowledge securely."
- The school prioritises reading, featuring a "welcoming library area" and initiatives that promote a "love of reading."
- Staff work effectively with external agencies to support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring additional needs are "identified correctly and quickly."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure staff receive training to effectively deliver catch-up sessions for pupils with gaps in phonics knowledge, as current support is not making a difference.
- Leaders and staff need to make better use of assessment information to identify gaps in pupils’ phonics knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders having a "strong understanding of current safeguarding issues" and staff being well trained to identify and report concerns.
