St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Crewe
Crewe, CW2 8AD · Cheshire East · primary school
96th of 114 primary schools in Cheshire East we can score, 123 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 the 3,891 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 among them, against 1.8/10 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 | 48.0 · 16 | 40% | 0.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 1.0 · 21 | 25% | 0.53 |
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, 48.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 1.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0 out of 10 among them, against 1.8 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the SMART Club and The Choir. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 558 pupils in a capacity of 630, leaving 72 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With results below the national median, how does the school support pupils who are not meeting expected standards in maths? Since there is no breakfast club, what options exist for early morning care? How does the school maintain its Good Ofsted rating while addressing the gap between its performance and the national average?
