Goostrey Community Primary School
Near Crewe, CW4 8PE · Cheshire East · primary school
33rd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.6/10 against 3,718 of them, against 8.9/10 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 | 86.0 · 95 | 40% | 3.79 |
| Ofsted | 10 | 35% | 0.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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, 86.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 14.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Goostrey All Stars club and before- and after-school sports clubs. The school offers Forest School activities and residential visits. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. There are 197 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 13 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the residential visits? How are the before- and after-school sports clubs structured for different age groups?
