Mill View Primary School
Chester, CH2 1HB · Cheshire West and Chester · primary school
2nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.7/10 against 3,352 of them, against 9.7/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 90.0 · 98 | 40% | 3.90 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 27.0 · 97 | 25% | 2.42 |
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, 90.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 27.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in June 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.7 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Choir, Sketchbook social, Drawing, Small World, Colour Therapy, Story makers, Craft & Baking, and Lego. Sports options cover Football, Netball, Running, Gardening, Rockstars, Construction, Film, and Cricket. Arts and music activities include House of Dance and Digital Wizards. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 244 pupils in a building with 236 places, meaning it is over capacity by 8. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How are the numerous clubs scheduled to ensure all pupils can participate?
