Godfrey Ermen Memorial CofE Primary School
Manchester, M30 7BJ · Salford · primary school
66th of 69 primary schools in Salford we can score, 76 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 — 1.7/10 against 1,758 of them, against 1.8/10 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 | 46.0 · 14 | 40% | 0.55 |
| Ofsted | 9 | 35% | 0.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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, 46.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. The school was last inspected in April 2026 and rated Requires improvement. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join swimming, cooking, and board games clubs, or play rounders, netball, hockey, and archery. Year 6 students go on a residential trip. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 386 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 34 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to improve attainment in the next inspection cycle? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How does the after-school club operate for families who need care after 3:30 pm?
