About Cheetham CofE Community Academy

Cheetham CofE Community Academy’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Manchester local authority average for primary schools. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 52%, compared with the LA average of 57%. That five-point gap places the school in the bottom half of the city’s primaries — ranked 82nd out of 137, and in the bottom 50% nationally. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 71% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, which is solid, but reading (64%) and writing (60%) lag further behind. At the higher standard, the figures are low — just 5% achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects, and only 20% did so in maths. The school’s average scaled scores (104 in maths, 102 in reading) are broadly in line with national averages, suggesting that while most children are working at a typical level, fewer than average are exceeding it.
