About Worthington Primary School

Worthington Primary School is a state primary in Trafford, a local authority with a strong reputation for education, and it sits 43rd out of 63 primary schools in the area. That puts it in the middle of the pack locally, though it's worth noting that the top three schools in Trafford — St Vincent's Catholic Primary, Park Road Academy Primary, and Brooklands Primary — all achieve ranking scores above 90, setting a high bar. Worthington's own ranking score of 66 reflects solid but not standout performance within this competitive landscape. The school is significantly oversubscribed: for its 51 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 166 applications, a ratio of over three applicants per place, and all 49 first-preference offers were taken up. That level of demand suggests it's a popular choice among local families, even if it isn't among the very highest-ranked primaries in the borough. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is St Joseph's Catholic Primary, about a mile and a half away, so Worthington holds its own as a Good option in a busy catchment.
