Parklands Community Primary and Nursery School
Ellesmere Port, CH66 3RL · Cheshire West and Chester · primary school
57th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.2/10 against 1,518 of them, against 4.0/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.86 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.0 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2022.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Butterfly Club, Cookery, Maths Club, and Young Voices Choir. Sports include Zumba, Basketball, Netball, Gymnastics, Cricket, Football, Rugby, and Cheer-leading. Arts and music options cover Baking, Gardening, and Knitting. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 212 pupils in a capacity of 236 places, leaving 24 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are close to the expected standard? What specific activities are included in the after-school provision? How has the teaching approach changed since the 2022 inspection?
