Nether Alderley Primary School
Macclesfield, SK10 4TR · Cheshire East · primary school
62nd 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 the 3,485 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.6/10 among them, against 7.0/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 12 | 35% | 0.41 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.6 out of 10 among them, against 7.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for Chess, Gardening, Creatures and Critters, Mad Science, and STEM Kids. Sports include Football, Netball, Cricket, Basketball, Hockey, Badminton, Tri-golf, and Table tennis. Trips visit Petty Pool, Conway, and Robinwood Activity Centres. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 94 pupils in a capacity of 105 places, leaving 11 spare spots. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for children arriving without a breakfast club routine?
