81st of 123 primary schools in Manchester we can score, 137 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 — 3.8/10 against 501 of them, against 2.5/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about St Clement's CofE Primary School
Overview
This ungraded inspection confirms that St Clement’s CofE Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The school continues to provide a high-quality education where pupils are “happy” and “aspirational,” with strong relationships between staff, pupils, and families.
Strengths
- Pupils are “kind and polite,” demonstrating good behaviour and following “well-established routines.”
- The curriculum is delivered well, with teachers effectively checking understanding to address “misconceptions as they happen.”
- Staff benefit from supportive leadership that prioritises their “well-being” and reduces workload.
- The school swiftly identifies and supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), helping them to “feel included” and achieve well.
- Governors offer “effective support and challenge,” and the school responds well to contextual changes such as pupil mobility.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, opportunities for pupils to “recap and recall previous learning are at an early stage of development,” meaning pupils are “less confident in recalling what they have been taught in the past.” The school should ensure greater opportunities to revisit earlier learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
