8th of 47 primary schools in Halton we can score, 49 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 the 2,153 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.9/10 among them, against 7.6/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| 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 Moore Primary School
Overview
Moore Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "happy and successful" environment with "strong links" to the local community. Pupils "enjoy learning" and "achieve well," benefiting from an "ambitious and well-structured curriculum" that places reading at its heart. Leaders maintain high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring they are "well prepared for the next stage of their education."
Strengths
- Leaders have developed an "ambitious and well-structured curriculum" that "extends pupils’ thinking and nurtures their curiosity."
- Reading is prioritised effectively, with pupils in key stage 1 gaining "secure phonic knowledge" and older pupils becoming "enthusiastic readers" who "read widely and often."
- Pupils display "exemplary" behaviour, being "studious," "thoughtful and respectful" towards peers and staff.
- There is a "strong focus" on pupil welfare, with many opportunities for clubs, sports, and leadership roles such as the "Climate Crew."
- Staff feel "valued and well supported," with leaders showing consideration for their workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, teachers’ use of assessment strategies is "less well developed," meaning they do not use assessment information well enough to "shape future teaching" or identify gaps in knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are "effective," with staff receiving regular training and leaders responding "swiftly" to concerns while using strong links with external agencies to ensure pupils receive help promptly.
