Ashton Hayes Primary School
Chester, CH3 8AB · Cheshire West and Chester · primary school
82nd of 117 primary schools in Cheshire West and Chester we can score, 128 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 1,074 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.8/10 among them, against 2.4/10 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 | 44.0 · 12 | 40% | 0.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 44.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.8 out of 10 among them, against 2.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Daily Mile and Forest School. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 134 pupils in a capacity of 150, leaving 16 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? What provision exists for children who arrive late or leave early, given the lack of wraparound care? How does the Forest School curriculum integrate with the daily academic timetable?
