East Ward Community Primary School
About East Ward Community Primary School
East Ward Community Primary School in Bury holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 65% of pupils. That figure is a whisker above the Bury local authority average of 64%, placing the school 21st out of 46 primary schools in the borough. While the school doesn’t break into the top tier of local performers — the top three are Emmanuel Holcombe, Sunny Bank and Chantlers — it sits comfortably in the top half of the LA table. The 2023/24 results also show that 74% of pupils reached the expected standard in both reading and maths individually, and 75% did so in writing. At the higher end, 28% achieved a higher standard in reading, 23% in maths, but just 4% in writing and the combined RWM measure.
