About Brooklands Primary School

Brooklands Primary School sits in a strong academic position within Trafford, and its headline Key Stage 2 results put it well ahead of the local authority average. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 71 per cent; at Brooklands, that figure is 92 per cent. That is a gap of 21 percentage points, which places the school third out of 55 primary schools in Trafford and inside the top five per cent nationally. The school also outperforms on the higher standard: 23 per cent of pupils achieved that benchmark, compared with a figure that would be notably lower across the borough. These numbers suggest a school that is consistently delivering above the norm for its area, and doing so at scale — with 657 pupils on roll, it is a large primary by any measure.
