Hallwood Park Primary School and Nursery
Runcorn, WA7 2FL · Halton · primary school
41st of 47 primary schools in Halton we can score, 49 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 — 4.0/10 against 250 of them, against 2.4/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 0 | 35% | 0.01 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. No pupils reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Inadequate in 2022-11. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Gardening, Chess, Darts, Comic Book, Boosters, Construction, and Basketball clubs. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 74 pupils in a building with 126 places, leaving 52 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to improve teaching standards following the 2022-11 Ofsted inspection? What specific support is offered to pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in maths? How does the school manage class sizes given the current low enrolment?
