About Black Firs Primary School

Black Firs Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Cheshire East local authority average, which is a significant point for parents to weigh up. In the 2023/24 academic year, 44% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 64%. That’s a gap of 20 percentage points. The school’s ranking within the authority reflects this: it places 105th out of 123 primary schools, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. On the positive side, reading is a relative strength — 82% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, and the average scaled score was 105. Maths and writing were weaker, with 62% and 60% reaching the expected standard respectively. Only 2% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and just 13% did so in maths. For context, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall, with Good leadership and management, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2013.
