Pewithall School
Runcorn, WA7 4XQ · Halton · primary school
19th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.8/10 against 3,967 of them, against 5.0/10 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 this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 69.0 · 63 | 62% | 3.86 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
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, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join SEND sports clubs, attend sports festivals, compete in intra-house sports, and go swimming. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 204 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 6 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading or maths? What are the specific times for the swimming sessions? How do parents manage the lack of wraparound care before and after school?
