Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
3.2/10 Below average

92nd of 114 primary schools in Cheshire East we can score, 123 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 4,260 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9/10 among them, against 4.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 58.0% 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 June 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9 out of 10 among them, against 4.3 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the school choir, Yoga, and Sport of the Week clubs, play football, netball, hockey, and swimming, learn ukulele, and visit Glan-llyn. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 451 pupils in a building with 446 places, meaning it is over capacity by 5. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for new starters given the current over-capacity status?
