What are the best faith schools in Salford?
The highest-ranked faith schools in Salford on Eduscope are St Andrew's CofE Primary School, St Philip's RC Primary School and St Mary's RC Primary School. We rank each state school against schools of the same phase across England on its Ofsted inspection, results and attendance.

How are faith schools in Salford ranked on Eduscope?
Each state school gets a rank score out of 100. We place each measure as a percentile among state schools of the same phase across England, then weight them. Primary schools: latest Ofsted inspection 30%, pupils meeting the expected standard at Key Stage 2 30%, pupils reaching the higher standard 10%, persistent absence (lower is better) 20%, average reading and maths scores 10%. Secondary schools: latest Ofsted inspection 25%, Attainment 8 25%, grade 5 or above in English and maths 15%, persistent absence (lower is better) 15%, pupils staying in education or work after GCSEs 10%, A level average points (sixth forms only) 10%. Results are averaged over up to three years, and an Ofsted grade older than five years counts for less. A school needs data for at least 60% of the weights. Special schools, pupil referral units, nurseries, independent schools and 16 to 19 schools aren't ranked, and are listed by Ofsted grade and name. Our methodology page explains more.
What is the average class size in Salford faith schools?
The average pupil-teacher ratio across faith schools in Salford is 18:1. While this is not a direct measure of class size, it indicates the level of teaching resource available per pupil.
