St Mary of the Angels Catholic Primary School
Ellesmere Port, CH66 1NN · Cheshire West and Chester · primary school
28th 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 — 6.0/10 against 4,355 of them, against 6.4/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. An after-school club is available for pupils.
Getting in. The school has 208 pupils in a building with 189 places, meaning it is over capacity by 19. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when the school is over capacity? What specific support is offered to help pupils progress from the expected standard to the higher standard? How does the after-school club operate on days when the school is at full capacity?
