About St. Benedict's Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy
St. Benedict's Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy in Cheshire East, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2011 and an ungraded inspection in 2022 that confirmed the school remains Good. The 2022 inspection, however, flagged leadership and management as Requires Improvement, while early years provision was rated Good. For parents focused on academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the school’s Key Stage 2 performance. The local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 64, and while St. Benedict’s exact score is not published in this data, its position within Cheshire East — where 13 out of 123 primary schools achieve Outstanding — suggests it is a solid, if not standout, performer. The school’s most recent Ofsted report noted that pupils achieve well, but the leadership rating indicates room for improvement in how the school is steered.
