About Frodsham CofE Primary School

Frodsham CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2020, with the school's ungraded inspection in early 2025 confirming that standards have been maintained. The most telling academic metric comes from Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 55% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the local authority average of 61%, placing the school 75th out of 128 primary schools in Cheshire West and Chester. Where the school does shine is in reading, with 86% of pupils reaching the expected standard and an average scaled score of 109, well above the national benchmark of 100. In maths, 66% met expectations with an average score of 105, while writing saw 83% achieve the expected level. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard across all three subjects was just 3%, though 45% hit that higher bar in reading alone.
