Cheshire East

Cheshire East is home to a total of 155 educational establishments, comprising 123 primary schools, 25 secondary schools, 6 special schools and 1 standalone nursery school. Primary schools vary significantly in size and serve a diverse range of communities, from rural villages to areas facing social and economic challenges.

Currently, 64% of primary schools have converted to academy status, and the majority of secondary schools have also transitioned to academies. The six special schools include two community special schools, two special academies and two special free schools.

Across the borough, the vast majority of primary, secondary and special schools have received positive Ofsted inspection outcomes, reflecting a strong commitment to delivering high-quality education and the strength of leadership across Cheshire East.

Cheshire West & Chester

There are currently 160 schools across the borough serving Chester, Ellesmere Port, Winsford, Northwich and a number of locality schools. Primary schools vary greatly in size, serving communities from rural villages to inner and outer city areas, including areas of higher social need. Around a third of primary schools (34%) have converted to academy status, supported by 24 Multi Academy Trusts across the locality.

Two PRU (pupil referral unit) schools work across three sites, supporting pupils with medical or behavioural needs, alongside 10 specialist schools. Of the 22 secondary schools, over half (59%) are now academies, either standalone or part of a Multi Academy Trust.

The borough offers a range of maintained, faith, foundation, independent and free schools, including international and studio schools, giving a diverse and inclusive educational offering across Cheshire West & Chester.
