40th 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 — 6.8/10 against 1,246 of them, against 5.4/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Mauldeth Road Primary School
Overview
Mauldeth Road Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a happy and respectful environment where pupils feel safe. Leaders maintain high expectations for achievement, delivering a broad and ambitious curriculum that supports all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. The school fosters strong relationships and a serene atmosphere, with parents overwhelmingly positive about the individual care their children receive.
Strengths
- Pupils are "happy, polite and respectful," demonstrating shared values of "kindness, courtesy and cooperation."
- Leaders have designed an "ambitious curriculum" which staff deliver with clarity, ensuring pupils secure deep knowledge in core subjects like reading and mathematics.
- Reading is the "focal point of the curriculum," with a consistent phonics approach ensuring almost all pupils read fluently by the end of Year 2.
- Staff effectively identify and support pupils with SEND, helping them "successfully access the same curriculum as their peers."
- Leaders create opportunities to widen experiences, teaching pupils to "respect and celebrate the differences between people."
Areas to improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, leaders’ curriculum thinking is not as well developed, meaning they are "not clear enough about the knowledge that they want pupils to know and remember."
- Consequently, pupils in these subjects do not secure as deep a body of knowledge as in others; leaders must ensure clarity so pupils can "build successfully on what they know already."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders creating a strong culture where staff are trained to spot risks and act on concerns in a timely manner.
