32nd of 114 primary schools in Cheshire East we can score, 124 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 4,209 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.2/10 among them, against 6.9/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Weston Village Primary School
Overview
Weston Village Primary School is described as a "vibrant and happy place to be" where pupils demonstrate "exemplary" behaviour and attitudes. The school provides a "broad and ambitious curriculum" that allows most pupils to progress well, supported by knowledgeable governors and staff who are held in high regard by parents.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit "exemplary" behaviour, are "polite, friendly and caring," and feel safe approaching staff with worries.
- Leaders have designed a carefully ordered curriculum ensuring pupils "know more and remembering more over time" in most subjects.
- Almost all pupils learn to read fluently by Year 2, with older pupils accessing "high-quality literature" and discussing books enthusiastically.
- Early years provision is positive, with children being "confident and happy" and developing spoken language through enthusiastic activities.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported effectively to access the same "ambitious curriculum" as their peers.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must check more closely on the effectiveness of reading support for a small number of pupils who struggle, ensuring they "catch up quickly."
- In a few subjects, subject leaders need to develop their expertise to provide clearer guidance to teachers, as pupils currently "do not achieve as well as they should" in these areas.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," with staff receiving regular training and pupils having opportunities to learn how to keep themselves safe.
