About Ellesmere Port Christ Church CofE Primary School

Ellesmere Port Christ Church CofE Primary School sits slightly above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 61% across Cheshire West and Chester. That six-point gap is modest but consistent, and it places the school in the top half of primaries in the borough — 47th out of 110, or around the 43rd percentile. The school’s reading results are particularly strong: 87% of pupils met the expected standard and 23% reached the higher standard, both well above the typical picture for the area. Maths is closer to the LA norm, with 70% at expected and 23% at the higher level. Writing is the weakest of the three core subjects, with 77% at expected and just 7% at the higher standard. The school is a Church of England primary with a mixed intake, and its 27% pupil premium rate suggests a slightly above-average level of disadvantage for a state primary in this part of the North West.
