Mixed Primary
5.2/10 Broadly average

56th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.4/10 against 2,058 of them, against 5.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 0.0 · 10 38% 0.40

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

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%. The higher standard was reached by 0.0%. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.2 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 147 pupils in a school with 105 places, meaning it is over capacity by 42. Places are competitive because the school is over its stated capacity.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places when it is already over capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How does the school handle the transition for new starters given the competitive entry process?
