About CofE School of the Resurrection

CofE School of the Resurrection, a Church of England primary in Manchester, has turned a corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good overall, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. Every inspected category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was graded Good. That turnaround story is backed up by the school’s most telling exam metric: 56% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just one percentage point below the Manchester local authority average of 57%, placing the school 66th out of 122 primary schools in the borough. For a school where 47.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals — well above the national average — this is a solid, above-expectation performance.
