Weston Village Primary School

About Weston Village Primary School

Weston Village Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, with inspectors singling out behaviour and attitudes as Outstanding. The school sits 21st out of 113 primary schools in Cheshire East, placing it comfortably in the top 25% of the local authority. Its strongest headline metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 76% — notably above the local authority average of 64%. That gap of 12 percentage points is a meaningful indicator of the school’s academic strength relative to its neighbours. In reading, 93% of pupils met the expected standard and 52% achieved the higher standard, while maths saw 90% at expected and 48% at higher. Writing is the relative weak spot, with 79% at expected and just 17% at higher. The school’s average reading and maths scaled scores of 110 and 108 respectively suggest pupils are performing comfortably above the national benchmark of 100.

The school’s Progress 8 data is not available, but the KS2 results paint a clear picture of a school that delivers solid academic outcomes, particularly in reading and maths. Weston Village has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, with the 2022 report noting that leadership and management, quality of education, early years provision and personal development are all Good. The school’s ranking within the North West region places it in the 16th percentile, and nationally it sits in the 17th percentile — strong but not elite. For context, the top-performing school in the local authority, Peover Superior Endowed Primary School, achieves a ranking score of 100, while Weston Village scores 76. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is The Dingle Primary School, 4.6 km away. With 230 pupils on roll against a capacity of 266, the school is not at full capacity, but it is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 61 applications for 30 places, and all 25 first-preference applicants were offered a place.

Weston Village is a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. The school offers a Forest School, art studios, music rooms, an ICT suite and a chapel, alongside sports including tennis, football, cricket, cross country, athletics and netball. Clubs range from science and coding to eco club and chess. The school has identified SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and physical disability. Just 7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is low compared with the national average. This is a school that suits families who value strong core academic results, particularly in reading and maths, and who want a well-resourced primary with a broad range of extracurricular activities. The oversubscription rate of 2.03 applications per place means it is a popular choice locally, and the fact that all first-preference families secured a place suggests it is achievable for those who prioritise it.
