78th of 123 primary schools in Manchester we can score, 137 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 — 6.2/10 against 103 of them, against 3.6/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 62% | 2.26 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 38% | 1.36 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Haveley Hey Community School
Overview
Pupils are happy at this school, benefiting from strong relationships and a "calm and purposeful environment" underpinned by values of "resilience, ambition and respect." While early years provision is effective and reading is prioritised, the school’s high ambitions are not consistently realised for pupils in Years 1 to 6, resulting in insecure knowledge acquisition in some subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils display "positive attitudes to their work" and behave well, contributing to a supportive culture.
- Early years children make a "positive start" and are well prepared for Year 1, with effective phonics delivery.
- The school offers a "broad and ambitious curriculum" with memorable experiences like the ‘passport for learning’.
- Provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) has been strengthened, with needs identified early.
- Attendance and punctuality have improved, supported by successful collaboration with families.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, learning is not clearly sequenced, causing pupils to repeat previous learning rather than building knowledge securely.
- Assessment strategies are not routinely used to identify and address gaps in pupils’ knowledge, hindering achievement.
- The intended curriculum is not implemented consistently well across all subjects, affecting pupil progress.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
