Beechwood Primary School and Nursery
About Beechwood Primary School and Nursery
Beechwood Primary School and Nursery sits slightly below the Cheshire East local authority average for its key stage 2 headline metric, with 59% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths compared with the LA average of 64%. That places the school 69th out of 123 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of local primaries. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single number suggests. In maths, 82% of pupils met the expected standard — well above the national benchmark — and the average maths score of 105 is a solid result. Reading and writing expected rates are 75% and 68% respectively, so the combined figure is dragged down by the overlap of pupils hitting all three subjects simultaneously. Only 5% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three, but 23% achieved higher in maths and 27% in reading, indicating strong performance at the top end in those individual subjects.
