About Thelwall Community Junior School

Thelwall Community Junior School is a state primary in Warrington, a local authority where just six of 69 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself sits at rank 27 out of 55 primaries in the borough, placing it in the top half locally. Among its higher-scoring neighbours are Bruche Primary School Academy, Stretton St Matthew's CofE Primary School and Chapelford Village Primary School, which occupy the top three spots in Warrington's rankings. Thelwall caters for pupils aged 7 to 11 and is a mixed, non-religious school with no nursery or sixth form provision. It operates below its stated capacity of 180, with 164 children on roll, and 17.1 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in December 2024, confirmed that standards are being maintained, and its overall effectiveness remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2015.
