About All Saints Upton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

All Saints Upton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School in Halton was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2023, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2020. The school earned Good marks across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. But the most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits comfortably above the Halton local authority average of 59%, placing the school 16th out of 43 primary schools in the borough. With 194 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is running close to full, and its oversubscribed status for 2025/26 — 37 applications for 22 places — suggests local families are taking notice of that upward trajectory.
