About Egerton Primary School

Egerton Primary School sits comfortably above the Cheshire East average for primary schools when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 64%, but at Egerton that figure jumps to 83%. That is a significant gap, and it places the school 11th out of 113 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top 10% locally. It also ranks in the top 7% nationally. The school is clearly punching above the typical performance for its area, and the numbers back that up across individual subjects too: 93% of pupils hit the expected standard in reading, 90% in writing, and 86% in maths. For a school of just 230 pupils, these are strong results that suggest consistent teaching and a focused approach to the core curriculum.
