Twiss Green Community Primary School

About Twiss Green Community Primary School

Twiss Green Community Primary School is a mixed state primary in Warrington local authority, serving children aged 3 to 11. In the Warrington primary league table, it ranks 33rd out of 55 schools, placing it just inside the top 60% locally. The three highest-ranked peers in the area are Bruche Primary School Academy, Stretton St Matthew’s CofE Primary School, and Chapelford Village Primary School, all of which sit above Twiss Green in the rankings. The school is not affiliated with any religious character, and headteacher Natalie Hughes leads a relatively small roll of 209 pupils, just shy of its 214 capacity. With 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the intake is slightly below the national average for disadvantage, and the school offers nursery provision for the youngest children. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, rated the school Good overall, a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2009, but still a strong endorsement of its current leadership and teaching.

Academically, Twiss Green’s Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 show a mixed picture. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 67%, just below the Warrington local authority average of 69%. That places the school in the top 50 nationally by this metric, though its national percentile rank of 40.8 suggests it is broadly in line with the middle of the pack. Individual subject scores are more encouraging: reading had an average scaled score of 107, with 83% reaching the expected standard and 40% achieving a higher standard. Maths averaged 105, with 70% at expected and 23% at the higher level. Writing saw 83% at expected but only 13% at the higher tier. The school does not publish progress scores for any subject, so it is hard to gauge how much value it adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the Ofsted breakdown from 2023 rated every inspected area — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as Good.

The school is well equipped for a primary of its size, with facilities including a sports hall, library, playing fields, music rooms, gymnasium, dining hall, ICT suite, forest school and even a chapel. Sports on offer include rounders, athletics, gymnastics, dance, swimming, netball and tennis, while clubs range from film club and choir to drama, book club, science club and chess. For children with additional needs, the school’s SEND provisions cover social, emotional and mental health, speech, language and communication, and multi-sensory impairment. Admission data for 2025/26 shows the school is oversubscribed: 58 applications for 23 places, a ratio of 2.52 applicants per place, with 24 first-preference applications resulting in 23 offers. This suggests strong local demand, and families considering Twiss Green should be aware that securing a place is not guaranteed. It is a good fit for parents seeking a community-focused primary with a forest school and a broad range of extracurriculars, but those prioritising top-tier academic outcomes may want to look at the higher-ranked peers in the borough.
