Bosley St Mary's CofE Primary School

School overview

Bosley St Mary's CofE Primary School is a primary school serving Macclesfield, Cheshire East, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. It has 59 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. 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 100 in reading and 92 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Bosley St Mary's CofE Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 5 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 0.98 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 6.2%. There are about 16.4 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 10% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Bosley St Mary's 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.
