About Egerton Primary School

Egerton Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021, a step down from the Outstanding it achieved in 2007. But the real story is in the school’s academic results, which are among the strongest in Bolton. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 86% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the Bolton local authority average of 66%. That performance places Egerton 7th out of 87 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 5% of schools in Bolton. Nationally, it ranks 601st out of 13,686 primaries, comfortably inside the top 5% of all schools in England. The school’s reading results are particularly striking: every single pupil reached the expected standard, and half achieved a higher standard. In maths, 89% met expectations and 29% reached the higher standard, while average scores in both reading (110) and maths (106) are solid.
