Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Needs attention Mixed Primary
4.3/10 Broadly average

58th 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.

Narrow the comparison to the 1,651 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9/10 among them, against 6.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 77.0% 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 March 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9 out of 10 among them, against 6.2 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 197 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 13 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a pupil population that is nearly at capacity?
