About Goostrey Community Primary School

Goostrey Community Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for its primary phase, with 73% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, compared to 64% across Cheshire East. That nine-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places the school in the top quarter of all primaries in the local authority — 29th out of 113. The school’s ranking is consistent nationally too, sitting in the top 24% of all primary schools in England. It’s not the highest performer in the area — Peover Superior Endowed Primary School, 3.9 km away, holds an Outstanding Ofsted and tops the LA rankings — but Goostrey’s results are solidly above average, and its Good rating from Ofsted in 2022 reflects a school that is performing well without the fanfare of an Outstanding label.
