Ab Kettleby Primary School
About Ab Kettleby Primary School
Ab Kettleby Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit well below the Leicestershire local authority average, which is a key point for parents to weigh up. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 36% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 62%. That places the school 196th out of 231 primary schools in Leicestershire, putting it firmly in the bottom half locally and in the bottom 5% nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading scores are a relative strength: 82% of pupils met the expected standard and 36% achieved a higher standard, with an average scaled score of 107. Maths is more mixed, with 64% at expected and an average score of 101, while writing lags behind at just 45% expected. The school’s ranking in Melton is bottom of the 18 primaries, but that’s a very small local pool.
