The Wilmslow Academy
About The Wilmslow Academy
The Wilmslow Academy’s Key Stage 2 results sit comfortably above the Cheshire East average for primary schools, with 69% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 64%. That five-point gap is a solid indicator that this school is delivering above the norm for its area. In the local rankings, it places 46th out of 123 primary schools, putting it in the top half of Cheshire East’s state primaries and the top 50 tier nationally. The school’s reading and maths average scores both sit at 105, which is exactly in line with the national expectation, while 80% of pupils met the expected standard in maths and 84% did so in writing. The proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects is 10%, which is modest but reflects a school that seems to focus on securing solid foundations for the majority rather than pushing a large cohort into the top bracket.
