Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
4.7/10 Broadly average

54th 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 — 4.6/10 against 2,941 of them, against 4.4/10 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 it's doing. In 2024/25, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2022.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Rainbow Club, receive brass and woodwind tuition, and attend beatbox, circus, owl, poetry, and wreath-making workshops. Sports include football, netball, hockey, basketball, TAG rugby, dodgeball, gymnastics, and orienteering. Arts activities feature Young Voices, Northwich Sings, brass concerts, Hallé Orchestra performances, school productions, Christmas performances, talent shows, and music concerts. Trips visit the Chester Roman Experience, Beeston Castle, Quarry Bank Mill, Weaver Hall Museum, Manchester Museum, Blue Planet Aquarium, Chester Zoo, and Delamere Forest. An after-school club operates, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 188 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 22 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
