About Lindow Community Primary School

Lindow Community Primary School’s most recent Key Stage 2 results put it comfortably ahead of the Cheshire East local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 64%, Lindow achieved 71% — a clear seven-point lead. That gap widens further at the higher standard, where 10% of Lindow pupils hit the top benchmark, compared with a local average that is not directly stated but implied to be lower. The school’s ranking within Cheshire East reflects this strength: it places 39th out of 113 primary schools, putting it in the top 35% of the authority. In the North West region, it ranks 563rd out of 2,065 schools, and nationally it sits in the 28th percentile. For a relatively small school of 167 pupils, these are solid, above-average outcomes that suggest effective teaching across the core subjects.
