About Alsager Highfields Community Primary School

Alsager Highfields Community Primary School sits slightly above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 performance, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the Cheshire East average of 64%. That three-point gap is modest but consistent, and it places the school exactly in the middle of the pack locally — ranked 51st out of 123 primary schools in the authority. The school’s overall ranking score of 67 puts it in the top 50% nationally, though it’s worth noting that the three top-performing peers in the area all score above 90. Where Alsager Highfields really stands out is in its recent trajectory: in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good across every category, a remarkable turnaround from its previous inspection in 2019 when it was judged Inadequate overall. That improvement in leadership, behaviour, early years provision and pupil outcomes suggests a school that has found its footing.
