About Nether Alderley Primary School

Nether Alderley Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit just below the Cheshire East local authority average, but the gap is narrow enough to suggest a solid, if unspectacular, performance. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 60%, compared with the LA average of 64%. That places it 67th out of 123 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of local schools but not far from the middle of the pack. In the North West region it ranks 1,130th out of 2,065 primaries, and nationally it sits at 7,934th out of 13,686. The school’s ranking percentile of roughly 58 nationally means it outperforms just over half of all primary schools in England. It’s a respectable showing for a small village school, though families hoping for top-tier academic results may want to look at nearby Peover Superior Endowed or Ashdene Primary, which top the local rankings.
