About Chorlton CofE Primary School

Chorlton CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. While the overall effectiveness was not judged on that occasion, inspectors awarded Outstanding marks in four of the five graded categories: early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. The only area rated Good was quality of education. That pattern suggests a school that excels at creating a positive, well-ordered environment but is still working to match that with academic outcomes. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 71 per cent. That is comfortably above the Manchester local authority average of 57 per cent, and it places Chorlton 20th out of 122 primary schools in the city, putting it in the top 17 per cent of its local authority.
