About Albany Junior School

Albany Junior School, a state primary for ages 7 to 11 in Broxtowe, sits below the local authority average on the headline KS2 measure. Just 50% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Nottinghamshire average of 61%. That 11-point gap places the school in the bottom half of primaries nationally, at the 79th percentile, and 22nd out of 25 schools in Broxtowe. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 74% hit the expected standard in writing, which is a solid result, but reading (63%) and maths (65%) both lag behind. Higher-attaining pupils are relatively few — only 4% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and just 7% did so in writing. For context, the nearest outstanding school, Sunnyside Spencer Academy, is only 2 km away, so local competition is strong.
