School overview

Monks Coppenhall Academy is a primary school serving Crewe, Cheshire East, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 624 pupils aged 2 to 11 on roll. At its most recent graded inspection, Ofsted rated Monks Coppenhall Academy 'Good'. 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 marks an improvement of 14.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous 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 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 8% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Monks Coppenhall Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 76 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 2.04 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 4.9%. There are about 25.5 pupils per teacher. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
