Highest rated primary schools in Greater Manchester ahead of Primary School Offers Day 2024

Data has revealed the Greater Manchester primary schools with the highest reading, writing and maths scores for 2022-23. The stats can be used as a guide for selecting which school your child goes to, with National Primary School Offers Day upon us.

The National Association of Head Teachers said government investment is needed to help pupils recover from the pandemic, as figures show the proportion of students meeting the expected mark is well below pre-pandemic levels.

Pupils scoring at least a scaled score of 100 out of 120 will have met the expected standard in the test. However, school leaders' union the NAHT said ranking schools is simplistic and does not consider the context of the particular cohort or the community the school serves.

The Government aims for 90% of key stage two children to meet the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. Overall in England, 60% of students met the standard in 2022-23 – up from 59% the year before but below 65% in 2018-19, before the pandemic.

A Department of Education spokesperson said: “We know the pandemic had a significant impact on education globally which is why we have made £5 billion available since 2020 for education recovery initiatives, including just under five million tutoring course starts to date supporting pupils in all corners of the country."

Here are the Greater Manchester schools scoring the highest according to the latest data with all those with at least 85% of eligible students achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths included.
