About Godfrey Ermen Memorial CofE Primary School

Godfrey Ermen Memorial CofE Primary School sits well below the Salford local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, a gap that will be front of mind for parents comparing options. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 61 per cent; at Godfrey Ermen, that figure is just 26 per cent. That places the school 64th out of 65 primary schools in Salford, putting it in the bottom percentile nationally. The school’s ranking score of 26 is a long way from the top performers in the borough, such as Broadoak Primary School (92) or St Mary’s RC Primary School (90). For context, the nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is St Mary’s RC, only 1.4 km away. While Godfrey Ermen’s raw numbers are sobering, they reflect a school serving a community with high levels of disadvantage — 37.1 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average.
