About Clutton Church of England Primary School

Clutton Church of England Primary School is a small village primary in Cheshire West and Chester, and its academic results stand out sharply against the local authority average. In the most recent KS2 assessments, 75% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 61% for primary schools. That fourteen-point gap places the school comfortably in the top 25% of primaries nationally and 23rd out of 110 schools in the LA. The school also achieved a perfect 0% for the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is a notably honest reflection of its cohort size — with only 38 pupils on roll, small numbers can make percentages look extreme. Still, the core message is clear: for a school of this size, the proportion of children hitting the expected benchmark is well above what you’d typically find in the area.
