38th 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 — 7.2/10 against 1,084 of them, against 5.6/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 CofE School of the Resurrection
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending this school, where high expectations and a clear Christian ethos foster a safe and respectful environment. The report highlights that leaders have successfully revised the curriculum, resulting in effective learning from Nursery to Year 6 and strong personal development. While most aspects of school life are praised, inconsistencies in teaching delivery and assessment require attention to ensure all pupils learn as effectively as possible.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, work hard, and feel safe, supported by effective handling of bullying and inappropriate behaviour.
- The curriculum is well-structured, with content carefully sequenced so that "pupils’ learning builds well from year to year in all subjects."
- Reading is a high priority; most pupils become proficient readers and enjoy books, supported by staff with "good levels of expertise."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well, allowing them to study the same curriculum as their classmates.
- Leaders involve parents effectively through initiatives like "family time sessions," and staff appreciate the manageable workload and clear direction.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure teachers consistently present new material effectively, as unclear explanations sometimes slow pupils’ learning.
- Leaders should ensure teachers use assessment consistently well to identify and address pupils’ misconceptions and gaps in learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff thoroughly trained to spot signs that pupils might need extra help and leaders ensuring timely support.
