Millfields Primary Academy
Nantwich, CW5 5HP · Cheshire East · primary school
26th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.4/10 against 2,777 of them, against 7.5/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
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, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The school achieved a higher standard for 16.0% of pupils. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Reading Club, Cookery, Lego, and Forest Schools. Sports include football, cricket, netball, hockey, dance, gymnastics, tennis, and athletics. Arts and music cover drumming, keyboard, and singing. Trips go to Burwardsley and the Waterpark. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 244 pupils in a capacity of 210, meaning it is over capacity by 34. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is 34 pupils over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum or extracurricular activities?
