Frodsham Primary Academy
Frodsham, WA6 7PZ · Cheshire West and Chester · primary school
17th of 117 primary schools in Cheshire West and Chester we can score, 128 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 — 8.8/10 against 966 of them, against 7.2/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 62% | 5.04 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
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, 77.0% 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. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Craft, Dance, and Art clubs, play football, and attend the Warrington Primary Arts Network. Trips include a London visit, a residential stay, and outdoor workshops at Delamere Forest. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 85 pupils in a building with 133 places, leaving 48 spare spots. This means there is real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than the school is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How do teachers support the 8.0% who reach the higher standard to ensure they remain challenged? With 48 spare places, how does the school maintain a consistent class size for social development? What specific support is offered for pupils who do not reach the expected standard?
