About Crumpsall Lane Primary School

Crumpsall Lane Primary School’s most recent Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Manchester local authority average, with 41% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against an LA average of 57%. That 16-percentage-point gap places the school 112th out of 122 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of Manchester’s state primaries. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 61% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, 55% in writing and 52% in reading, but only 6% reached the higher standard in maths and none did so in reading, writing and maths together. The school’s average scaled scores of 102 in maths and 101 in reading are both slightly below the national benchmark of 100, so while children are broadly keeping pace, the proportion exceeding expectations is very low. For context, the nearest outstanding-rated primary, King David Primary School, is just 0.7 km away, which may be a factor for families weighing up their options.
