St John's CofE Primary School
Manchester, M27 5FU · Salford · primary school
27th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.6/10 against 3,339 of them, against 4.6/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.6 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Dance, Languages, Crafts, Drawing, and Singing clubs, or play Football and Dodgeball. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 360 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 60 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 60 places available, how quickly do new places fill up during the year? Since there is no breakfast club, what are the earliest drop-off times for parents who need early care? How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in core subjects?
