About Nantwich Primary Academy

Nantwich Primary Academy is a primary school in Nantwich, Cheshire East, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 204 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 61% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 7.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 35% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 14% 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 Nantwich Primary Academy their first choice was offered one of its 24 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.6%. There are about 22.7 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 38% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Nantwich Primary Academy 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.
