Christ The King RC Primary School Manchester
Manchester, M40 1LU · Manchester · primary school
52nd 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 — 5.9/10 against 715 of them, against 4.2/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Guitar Club and Key Stage 2 Choir, and participate in the Diocesan Singing Project, Manchester's 'Big Sing', and the Irish Festival. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 387 pupils in a building with 480 places, leaving 93 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a morning routine, given there is no breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 3.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a significantly smaller intake than its capacity?
