St Andrew's CofE Primary School

Manchester, M30 0FL · Salford · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
4.5/10 Broadly average

34th of 69 primary schools in Salford we can score, 76 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 — 5.3/10 against 1,740 of them, against 4.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.2 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. A breakfast club is available for pupils.

Getting in. The school has 232 pupils in a capacity of 227 places, meaning it is over capacity by 5. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for children when it is operating over its stated capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? How does the school engage parents in the learning process during the school day?
