Eatock Primary School
Bolton, BL5 2ER · Bolton · primary school
17th of 88 primary schools in Bolton we can score, 97 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 — 7.4/10 against 3,660 of them, against 6.9/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.62 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
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, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 12.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Lunch time Pals, Playground Pals, Reading, Writing and Computing Buddies, School Snack Shop assistants, and Lunchtime School Office Cover. They also take a trip to Parliament in London. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 238 pupils in a capacity of 248, leaving 10 spare places. With so few vacancies, places are likely to be competitive for new applicants.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for children arriving when only 10 places remain? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum for those who attend?
