About Frodsham Primary Academy
Frodsham Primary Academy has turned a significant corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, the school was judged to be Good overall, a remarkable improvement from its previous rating of Inadequate in 2021. The inspection team awarded Outstanding marks for both personal development and leadership and management, with Good grades for the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and early years provision. On the key academic measure for primary schools, 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That figure sits above the local authority average of 61% for Cheshire West and Chester, placing the school 46th out of 110 primary schools in the area. The school also saw strong results in reading, where the average scaled score reached 110 and a third of pupils achieved the higher standard, while in maths the average score was 104.
