About Shavington Primary School

Shavington Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit slightly above the Cheshire East local authority average, with 65% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 64%. That one-point gap is modest, but it places the school in the middle of the pack locally — ranked 60th out of 123 primary schools in the borough. The school’s national percentile of 44th means it performs broadly in line with the typical state primary across England. What stands out more is the spread of attainment: 85% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, a strong result that pulls the headline figure up, while reading (77%) and writing (73%) are a little lower. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 5%, which is on the low side, suggesting the school is effective at getting most children to a solid baseline but less so at pushing the highest achievers into the top tier.
