About Wharton CofE Primary School

Wharton CofE Primary School is a primary school in Winsford, Cheshire West and Chester, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. Around 235 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 37% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 8.0 percentage points year on 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 103 in reading and 98 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% 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 Wharton CofE Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 26 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 7.3%. There are about 19.0 pupils per teacher. Wharton 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.
