About Christleton Primary School

Christleton Primary School is a primary school in Cheshire West and Chester, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 216 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 53% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 19.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Christleton Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 28 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 3.6%. There are about 25.7 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 4% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Christleton 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
