About Boothstown Methodist Primary School

Boothstown Methodist Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its most recent inspections. The school's most recent graded inspection in 2015 and an ungraded inspection in 2021 both confirmed the school remains Good, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all rated Good. For academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 60%. This is very close to the Salford local authority average of 61%, placing the school squarely in the middle of the pack. In the local authority rankings, Boothstown sits 34th out of 65 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half of Salford schools. Nationally, it ranks 7,936th out of 13,686 primary schools, a position that reflects solid but not outstanding results.
