Acre Hall Primary School
About Acre Hall Primary School
Acre Hall Primary School in Trafford was rated Requires Improvement in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a downgrade from the Good rating it had held in its previous inspection. The inspection found that while the quality of education and leadership require improvement, the school continues to do well in other areas: early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes were all graded Good. On the most telling academic metric available, just 59% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well below the Trafford local authority average of 71%, and it places the school 49th out of 55 primary schools in the borough. In national rankings, Acre Hall sits in the bottom half of all primary schools, at the 59th percentile. The school’s average scaled scores in reading and maths both came in at 104, which is exactly the national average, but the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in either subject was low — 12% in reading and 18% in maths, with none achieving higher in writing.
