Check the area around this school
20th of 117 primary schools in Cheshire West and Chester we can score, 129 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 7.8/10 against 4,242 of them, against 7.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Frodsham Manor House Primary School
Overview
Frodsham Manor House Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are “keen and eager to come to school” and “get on exceptionally well together.” Leaders maintain “high expectations of pupils’ learning and behaviour,” resulting in a calm, orderly environment where students take pride in their work and achieve well across most subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils are respectful, inclusive, and “well prepared for their next steps,” benefiting from a “wealth of wider opportunities” such as trips, clubs, and cultural experiences.
- Reading is a strong focus; children in the early years “get off to a flying start,” and staff effectively support those struggling, ensuring most pupils read “fluently, accurately and with understanding.”
- The school identifies pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) “quickly and accurately,” adapting activities so they can access the curriculum alongside peers and “progress well.”
- Staff feel “well supported by leaders,” who are mindful of workload and well-being, fostering a culture where staff are “proud to work at the school.”
Areas to improve
- The school must finalise its review of a few subject curriculums to clearly identify important knowledge and the order of teaching, ensuring pupils “deepen their knowledge over time.”
- The school should ensure staff possess the necessary subject-specific knowledge to deliver new curriculums “consistently well,” as some staff unfamiliarity currently hinders pupil achievement in these areas.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
