About Belgrave Primary School

Belgrave Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary for ages 4 to 11, sitting within the Cheshire West and Chester local authority. It ranks 7th out of 110 primary schools in the LA, placing it comfortably in the top 5% of schools locally. Its nearest top-performing peers include Bishop Wilson Church of England Primary School, Delamere CofE Primary Academy, and Childer Thornton Primary School, all of which score slightly higher on the same ranking metric. Headteacher Juliette Benton leads a relatively small school of 209 pupils, just one place shy of its 210-capacity. The school is non-religious and draws from a local area where 5.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, Belgrave was rated Good overall, with Outstanding marks for personal development and for behaviour and attitudes. That’s a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2009, but the school remains a strong performer in a competitive local landscape.
