About Lostock Hall Primary School

Lostock Hall Primary School in Cheshire East has been rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. The school was previously judged Outstanding back in 2009, and while the overall grade has dropped, inspectors noted that behaviour and attitudes remain Outstanding. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: 82% of pupils hit that benchmark, well above the Cheshire East local authority average of 64%. That puts Lostock Hall in the top 15 out of 113 primary schools in the borough, and in the top 9% nationally. The school also achieved a ranking score of 82 on this measure, placing it firmly in the top 10 tier of Cheshire East primaries. So while the headline grade has slipped, the actual outcomes for children are still strong relative to the local area.
