About Bollin Primary School

Bollin Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit well above the Trafford local authority average. While 71% of pupils across the borough reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, Bollin achieves 81% — a ten-point gap that places it 13th out of 55 primary schools in Trafford and inside the top 10% nationally. The school’s ranking score of 81 puts it in the top tier of Trafford primaries, though it sits behind local heavyweights like St Vincent’s Catholic Primary (score 95) and Park Road Academy (93). The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in all three subjects is 27%, and in maths specifically half of all pupils hit that higher benchmark. Reading and maths average scores both come in at 108, above the national average. These are strong, consistent results for a school that serves a relatively small proportion of disadvantaged pupils — just 6.7% are eligible for free school meals.
