Burtonwood Community Primary School
Warrington, WA5 4AQ · Warrington · primary school
22nd of 57 primary schools in Warrington we can score, 69 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 — 8.3/10 against 3,498 of them, against 7.7/10 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 | 81.0 · 89 | 40% | 3.57 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 81.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join guitar, art, gardening, board game, mystery hunters, and French clubs. They play football and sing in the choir. Trips include a residential to Delamere, a visit to Eureka, and a choir performance at Co-op Live Arena. The school has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 208 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to secure a place given the current capacity? How does the curriculum extend learning for the 8.0% who reach the higher standard?
