About Elworth CofE Primary School

Elworth CofE Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit just above the local authority average, with 66% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Cheshire East average of 64%. That places the school 55th out of 123 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the middle of the pack rather than among the leaders. The top three schools in the LA — Peover Superior Endowed, Bexton and Ashdene — all score significantly higher on the ranking metric, but Elworth is comfortably within the top half of Cheshire East primaries. The school is oversubscribed, receiving 147 applications for 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 57 offers made from 75 first-preference applications. That demand suggests local families see enough value here to put it top of their list, even if the headline metrics don’t push into the top tier.
