About Great Budworth CofE Primary School

Great Budworth CofE Primary School is a primary school in Northwich, Cheshire West and Chester, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England religious character. Around 30 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 33% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That is down 27.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

There are about 10.5 pupils per teacher. Great Budworth CofE 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.
