About Cherry Tree School

Cherry Tree School is a state-funded mixed primary in Warrington, a local authority where only six out of 69 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself is rated Good overall, a grade it earned in its most recent inspection in 2023, though it sits just outside that top tier. Among Warrington primaries, Cherry Tree ranks 13th out of 55 on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top quarter of schools locally. Its closest high-performing peers include Bruche Primary School Academy, Stretton St Matthew's CofE Primary School, and Chapelford Village Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is St Peter's Catholic Primary School, about four kilometres away. With 231 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is clearly popular, and its 12.7 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals is slightly below the national average, suggesting a relatively mixed intake.
