Highfield Community Primary School

About Highfield Community Primary School

Highfield Community Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when compared with other primary schools in Cheshire West and Chester. Its key metric — the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 56%, which is five percentage points below the local authority average of 61%. That places the school 71st out of 128 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of the LA rankings. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single headline figure suggests. In maths, 78% of pupils hit the expected standard, and the average maths score of 104 is solid. Reading and writing expected rates are 70% and 63% respectively, so the combined figure is dragged down by the requirement to hit all three simultaneously. The school also achieves a higher-than-average proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in reading (30%), though the combined higher rate is just 7%. For parents weighing up options, this is a school that performs broadly in line with the local norm, with particular strengths in maths.
