About Weaverham Primary Academy

Weaverham Primary Academy has been rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management all received a Grade 2, as did its early years provision. On the key academic metric of Key Stage 2, 57% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits just below the local authority average of 61%. The school’s ranking of 67th out of 110 primary schools in Cheshire West and Chester places it in the bottom half of the LA, though the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects.
