About Astmoor Primary School

Astmoor Primary School, a state primary in Halton for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school's academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results, where 43% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This figure sits below the Halton local authority average of 59%, placing Astmoor 36th out of 43 primary schools in the area and in the bottom half nationally. Digging deeper into the individual subjects, 61% of pupils reached the expected standard in both reading and maths, with average scores of 103 and 100 respectively. A smaller proportion, 57%, achieved the expected level in writing. At the higher standard, 30% of pupils scored highly in reading, 13% in writing, and just 4% in maths, which gives a clear picture of where the school's strengths and challenges lie.
