Summary
With a KS2 expected combined score in reading, writing, and maths at 63%, this primary school performs better than 56% of schools nationally, although it faces significant challenges, as evidenced by its Inadequate Ofsted rating from December 2022. The lack of students achieving the higher standard indicates areas for improvement, and the LocaleIQ score suggests it is performing below the majority of schools in the area. Parents should consider these factors carefully when evaluating educational options.
