Seymour Park Community Primary School
Manchester, M16 9QE · Trafford · primary school
10th of 55 primary schools in Trafford we can score, 63 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 — 9.5/10 against 2,392 of them, against 8.7/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 17.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access clubs including Karate, Cooking, French, Coding, Music tuition, Choir, Multi skills, and Archery. Sports offered include Football, Cricket, Rounders, Cross Country, Dodgeball, Gymnastics, Tag rugby, and Box fit. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 682 pupils in a building with 560 places, meaning it is over capacity by 122. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 122 more pupils than its official capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How does the after-school club operate given the high pupil numbers?
