Gorsey Bank Primary School

Wilmslow, SK9 5NQ · Cheshire East · primary school

Ofsted: Outstanding · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
9.4/10 Well above average

3rd 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.

Narrow the comparison to the 1,522 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.7/10 among them, against 9.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 88.0 · 96 40% 3.85

Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 17.0 · 87 25% 2.18

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, 88.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 17.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.7 out of 10 among them, against 9.3 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Pupil Parliament, Kids Club, and football, with trips to Forest School. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 409 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 11 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for the remaining 11 places? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How does the after-school club integrate with the main curriculum?
