About Denton West End Primary School

Denton West End Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed by an ungraded inspection in October 2023 that found the school remains on a solid footing. Its most informative academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment, which sits at 68%. That figure places the school comfortably above the Tameside local authority average of 62%, and ranks it 20th out of 57 primary schools in the borough — putting it in the top 35% of its local peers. This is a solid, above-average performance for a state primary in the North West, where it ranks 737th out of 2,065 schools nationally. The school’s ranking score of 68 on this metric reflects consistent, if not spectacular, outcomes for its Year 6 pupils.
