In the end of Key Stage 2 (KS2) assessments for reading, writing, and maths, the Blackhill Lane school has achieved a remarkable status.
Bexton ranks in the top two per cent of schools across the country for KS2 attainment in reading, writing, and maths.
The school maintains progress significantly above the national average.
Locally, Bexton is one of the top three schools in Cheshire East for attainment in reading, writing, and maths.
Proud headteacher Emily Armstrong said: "We are thrilled to have made it to the FFT top two per cent of schools in the country for the fifth year running.
“It's a testament to the hard work and perseverance of our students and staff and they truly deserve the recognition!"
These results reflect the dedication and commitment of both students and staff at Bexton Primary School.
The achievement is a noteworthy milestone in the school's academic journey and highlights the continued progress of its students.
Earlier this year, Bexton was recognised in The Sunday Times Parent Power listing as one of the top 200 schools nationwide.
The Sunday Times published the parent ranking using SATs to rank primary schools across the country.
Bexton was ranked 107th out of 20,800 primary schools in the nation’s top 200 in the Sunday Times Parent Power league table.
Top performing Bexton was also ranked the best state-funded school in Cheshire in the Real Schools Guide 2020.
Schools are rated in this guide based upon results, teaching, progress and attendance.
