Underwood West Academy
Crewe, CW1 3LF · Cheshire East · primary school
111st 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.6/10 against 1,255 of them, against 0.8/10 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 | 38.0 · 7 | 62% | 0.42 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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, 38.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join maths clubs, play cricket, and participate in Front Row music. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 504 pupils in a building with 442 places, meaning it is over capacity by 62. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 62 more pupils than its stated capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? How do parents arrange supervision before and after school hours given the lack of wraparound clubs?
