About Elton Primary School

Elton Primary School sits within the Cheshire West and Chester local authority, a large area with 128 primary schools where 14 currently hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school’s ranking in the LA places it at 100th out of 128, putting it in the bottom quarter of local primaries. Its closest high-performing peers include Bishop Wilson Church of England Primary School, Delamere CofE Primary Academy, and Childer Thornton Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same KS2 metric. Elton is a mixed, state primary for children aged 2 to 11, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher Kevin Manning. The school has capacity for 247 pupils but currently enrols 200, meaning there is some slack in its intake. It offers nursery provision but no sixth form, and is not a boarding school.
