11th of 69 primary schools in Salford we can score, 76 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 — 8.5/10 against 4,208 of them, against 8.0/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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 Monton Green Primary School
Overview
Monton Green Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy attending and feel safe. Leaders provide a broad curriculum and strong support for pupils with special educational needs, fostering a positive environment where children are encouraged to be kind and work hard.
Strengths
- Pupils trust staff to care for them, and leaders deal with bullying "quickly and effectively," helping children feel "safe and happy."
- The curriculum in English, mathematics, and science is organised logically, allowing pupils to "achieve well" as their learning builds securely.
- Staff effectively support pupils with special educational needs, ensuring they access an "ambitious curriculum" and are "fully included in the wider life of the school."
- Leaders promote a "love of reading," with teachers reading to classes daily and a new phonics programme helping pupils become "confident readers."
- Pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain, learning about "fundamental British values" and how to keep themselves safe online and in the community.
Areas to improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, leaders have not identified the precise knowledge pupils need, meaning some cannot "build on their prior learning as well as they should."
- Staff do not always deliver the phonics programme "precisely as intended," which slows the progress of some pupils towards becoming "fluent and accurate readers."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff well trained to identify risks and leaders working closely with external agencies to support vulnerable pupils.
