About Cuddington Primary School

Cuddington Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 70% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits comfortably above the local authority average of 61% for Cheshire West and Chester, placing the school 37th out of 110 primary schools in the area. Digging into the individual subjects, reading is a particular strength: 81% of pupils reached the expected standard and 41% achieved the higher standard, compared with 15% in maths and 11% in writing. The average reading score of 107 is also notably strong. While the school doesn't have progress scores published, these attainment figures suggest pupils are arriving at the end of primary school well prepared for the next step.
