Wrenbury Primary School

Nantwich, CW5 8EN · Cheshire East · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
3.6/10 Broadly average

86th 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 — 2.9/10 against 2,425 of them, against 2.8/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 60.0 · 39 40% 1.56

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, 60.0% 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. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. 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 (2.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.8 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access football, athletics, boccia, cricket, basketball, tag rugby, quad kids, tennis, and maypole dancing. They attend residential trips in Years 3, 4, 5, and 6, plus Reaseheath College experiences. Well-being lunch clubs are available. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 134 pupils in a capacity of 160, leaving 26 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils’ progress towards the higher standard, given that 0.0% achieved it last year? What provision exists for children who need care before school or after the day ends? How do the residential trips in Years 3 to 6 support personal development?
