About Saighton Church of England Primary School & Pre-School

Saighton Church of England Primary School & Pre-School is a primary school in Chester, Cheshire West and Chester, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England religious character.

Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 6% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Saighton Church of England Primary School & Pre-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.
