About Cringle Brook Primary School

Cringle Brook Primary School in Manchester holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. In its 2024 ungraded inspection, the school was confirmed to have remained Outstanding, building on the top marks awarded in its 2017 graded inspection for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. At 63%, this figure sits comfortably above the Manchester local authority average of 57%, placing the school in the top half of primary schools nationally. However, only 10% of pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, which is a more modest result and suggests that while most children are meeting expectations, fewer are exceeding them at the highest level.
