Mossfield Primary School

School overview

Mossfield Primary School is a primary school serving Manchester, Salford, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 302 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 61% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 3.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 8% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Mossfield Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 25 Reception places. In 2025 the furthest child offered a place lived 0.51 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 6.5%. There are about 16.3 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 49% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Mossfield Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
