About Dean Valley Community Primary School
Dean Valley Community Primary School in Cheshire East was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2011. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 57% of pupils met this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That places the school below the local authority average of 64% and ranks it 78th out of 113 primary schools in Cheshire East. In the North West region it sits in the 60th percentile, and nationally in the 63rd percentile. The school’s ranking score of 57 puts it in the bottom 50 tier of schools nationally, though the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects.
