Ofsted: Outstanding · 2026 Inspected this year Mixed Primary
6.8/10 Above average

21st 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.7/10 against 1,713 of them, against 5.3/10 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.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 71.0% 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 Outstanding in June 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.3 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 284 pupils in a capacity of 210, meaning it is over capacity by 74. Places are competitive because the school is over its stated capacity.

Worth asking on a visit. With the school 74 pupils over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new requests? Since the last inspection was recent, what specific changes have been made to the curriculum since the Outstanding rating? How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths?
