Shocklach Oviatt CofE Primary School
Malpas, SY14 7BN · Cheshire West and Chester · primary school
106th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.0/10 against 2,183 of them, against 0.4/10 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 | 0.0 · 0 | 40% | 0.00 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 0.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was also reached by 0.0%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs like AmaSing, Music for Life, and School Council. They participate in inter-school sports, high ropes, canoeing, and rock climbing. Arts include school productions and services. Trips cover city breaks, a residential, and museums. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 83 pupils in a capacity of 84 places, leaving 1 spare place. 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 are not meeting expected standards in literacy and numeracy? With only 1 place available, what is the process for securing a spot if a place opens up? How does the recent Ofsted inspection influence current teaching strategies?
