About Offley Primary Academy

Offley Primary Academy’s Key Stage 2 results comfortably outpace the local authority average for primary schools in Cheshire East. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths sits at 64%, Offley achieves 75% — a solid eleven-point lead. That places the school 24th out of 123 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top quarter of its local peers. The school’s reading scores are particularly strong: an average scaled score of 109, with 45% of pupils reaching the higher standard. Maths follows at an average of 106 and 26% at the higher level. Writing is slightly lower, with 19% hitting the higher benchmark, though 83% meet the expected standard. Only 6% of pupils reach the higher standard across all three subjects, which suggests that while the school is reliably good at getting most children to the expected level, stretching the highest achievers across the board is an area of focus.
