About schools in Cheshire

Cheshire lists five schools, most of them independent schools. One school here provides for children with additional needs. A single primary school covers the early school years.

Ofsted inspects every school listed here. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find each primary school's key stage 2 scores. An inspection or a results table captures a school at one past moment, so use this page to draw up a shortlist and then visit.
