Woolston CofE Aided Primary School
Warrington, WA1 4QL · Warrington · primary school
12th of 57 primary schools in Warrington we can score, 69 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 — 9.2/10 against 3,745 of them, against 8.8/10 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 | 82.0 · 90 | 40% | 3.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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, 82.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 15.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school offers a breakfast club, an after-school club, and an Easter Bonnet Craft session.
Getting in. There are 208 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 2 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list if a child withdraws? How does the breakfast club support children’s readiness for learning before the day begins? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects?
