Bunbury Aldersey Church of England Primary School is smaller than average. The school is located in Bunbury Village, Tarporley about 13 miles south-east of Chester city centre. The school was founded in 1594 by a member of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers, one of the twelve Great Livery Companies of London. Most pupils are of White British heritage with few pupils from ethnic minority backgrounds. A well-below-average proportion of pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium is below average. The pupil premium is additional government funding to support pupils who are eligible for free school meals or looked after by the local authority. The proportion of pupils who are disabled or have special educational needs supported by the school is just over half the national average. The number of pupils with an education, health and care plan is in line with the national average. The school met the government’s floor standards for 2015, which are the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6.
