About Calveley Primary Academy

Calveley Primary Academy has been rated Outstanding across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant jump from its previous Good rating. The inspection, carried out in early 2025, awarded top marks for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This puts the school in a strong position academically, and the Key Stage 2 results back that up. In the 2023/24 academic year, 83% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the local authority average of 64%. The school also ranks 13th out of 113 primary schools in Cheshire East, placing it in the top 12% of the local authority. Nationally, it sits in the top 8% of all primary schools, a strong indicator of consistent performance.
