About Saighton Church of England Primary School & Pre-School

Saighton Church of England Primary School & Pre-School is a primary school in Cheshire West and Chester, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England religious character. Around 114 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 6.0 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 top 39% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 8% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Saighton Church of England Primary School & Pre-School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 8 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 4.1%. There are about 15.4 pupils per teacher. 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.
