Braiswick Primary School
About Braiswick Primary School
Braiswick Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit comfortably above the Essex local authority average, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 62% across the LA. That five-point gap is a solid indicator of consistent teaching, though the school’s 10% achieving the higher standard in all three subjects suggests that stretching the most able pupils is less of a focus than securing a good baseline for the majority. In reading and maths individually, the average scores of 106 in each are exactly in line with the national expectation, while the proportion reaching the expected standard in those subjects (82% for both) is notably strong. Writing lags a little behind, with 73% at expected and only 12% at the higher level. The school ranks 22nd out of 51 primary schools in Colchester, placing it in the top half locally, and sits around the 37th percentile nationally — a respectable, if not headline-grabbing, position.
