Brierley Primary School

About Brierley Primary School

Brierley Primary School sits in the bottom half of Cheshire East primaries, ranked 95th out of 123 schools in the local authority. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 50%, which is 14 percentage points below the local authority average of 64%. That gap is significant and worth noting, especially for parents comparing schools in the area. The school’s ranking places it in the bottom 50 nationally for this measure, and within the North West region it sits in the 76th percentile. While these figures suggest academic performance is below the typical Cheshire East primary, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subject scores. Maths, for instance, performs relatively well: 79% of pupils met the expected standard and 25% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 104. Reading and writing lag behind, with 57% and 68% meeting expectations respectively, and no pupils achieving the higher standard in writing.
