About Moulton School

Moulton School, a state primary in Cheshire West and Chester, holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2013, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 63%. That is just above the local authority average of 61%, placing the school in a solidly middle position. In the Cheshire West and Chester rankings, Moulton comes 55th out of 110 primary schools, which puts it around the 50th percentile nationally. Its ranking score of 63 is based on that same combined expected standard measure, so parents can see the school is performing broadly in line with the typical primary in the area, without any standout peaks or troughs.
