Wheelock Primary School

About Wheelock Primary School

Wheelock Primary School sits in the bottom half of Cheshire East primary schools when it comes to the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. With 50% of its Year 6 pupils hitting that combined benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, the school falls 14 percentage points below the local authority average of 64%. That gap is significant and places Wheelock 94th out of 113 primaries in the borough, a ranking that puts it in the bottom 50% nationally. The school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, awarded after its most recent graded inspection in January 2024, tells a slightly more reassuring story, but the inspection also noted that the quality of education, personal development, behaviour and leadership are all simply Good rather than Outstanding. This is a school that has slipped from its previous Outstanding rating, which it held in 2011, and is now performing below the typical Cheshire East primary in the most important academic metric.
