St John's CofE Academy
About St John's CofE Academy
St John's CofE Academy was rated Inadequate in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a significant downgrade from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The inspection found that quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management were all Inadequate, while early years provision was judged as Requires Improvement. This places the school in a difficult position within Cheshire East, where 13 out of 123 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding rating. With 161 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is under-subscribed, which may reflect parental caution following the inspection outcome. The most informative exam metric available is the local authority average Key Stage 2 score of 64, though St John's own KS2 results are not provided in the data. Given the Ofsted rating, families considering this school will want to examine the most recent progress measures and SATs outcomes closely.
