Davenham CofE Primary School
About Davenham CofE Primary School
Davenham CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Cheshire West and Chester, taking mixed pupils aged 4 to 11. With a school capacity of 315, its intake is relatively generous for a village primary, though the data does not specify current pupil numbers or whether it is oversubscribed. The school serves a community where the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is not given, so it is difficult to compare directly with the national average. However, the local authority context shows that only 14 of 128 primary schools in Cheshire West and Chester hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating, meaning Good-rated schools like Davenham are the norm rather than the exception. The school’s religious character as Church of England may appeal to families seeking a faith-based setting, though admissions criteria are not detailed in the available data. The headteacher is Joanne Hyslop, and the school does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, focusing solely on the primary years.
