Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary Church of England
0.4/10 Well below average

114th 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 — 0.0/10 against 3,639 of them, against 0.4/10 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.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 9.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. No pupils reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Requires improvement in September 2024.

Beyond the classroom. The school offers a Thingamajigs breakfast club, lunchtime clubs, and Sports Crew. Pupils also participate in the Warrington School Sports Partnership.

Getting in. There are 82 pupils in a school with 116 places, leaving 34 spare places. 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 raise attainment from 9.0% to the national median of 64%? What specific actions are being taken following the 2024 inspection? How do the lunchtime clubs support pupils' social development?
