Hartford Manor Primary School & Nursery
Northwich, CW8 1NU · Cheshire West and Chester · primary school
19th 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 the 3,025 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.8/10 among them, against 7.9/10 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 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
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 12.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.8 out of 10 among them, against 7.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access dance, judo, fencing, golf, football, cricket, boccia, new age kurling, indoor athletics, rounders, quad kids, orienteering, quiksticks hockey, and basketball. Arts include a clay tile project and the Nortwich Art Trail. Trips feature overnight visits, archery, canoeing, and a river cruise on the Thames. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 442 pupils in a facility with 420 places, exceeding capacity by 22. This means the school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily logistics of being over capacity? What specific support is offered to pupils aiming for the higher standard? How are the numerous sports and clubs scheduled to ensure broad participation?
