Farndon Primary School

About Farndon Primary School

Farndon Primary School, a state primary for children aged 3 to 11 in Cheshire West and Chester, was judged Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in early 2025, with inspectors awarding Good across every category assessed, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. The school’s most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 44% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well below the local authority average of 61%, and it places Farndon 93rd out of 128 primary schools in the borough. In the national rankings, the school sits in the bottom half of all primaries, at the 87th percentile. The picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 65% of pupils hit the expected standard in both reading and writing, while maths lagged at 56%. Just 9% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects.
