About Cann Hall Primary School

Cann Hall Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Essex local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 62%, Cann Hall’s figure is 37% — a gap of 25 percentage points. The school’s maths average score of 100 is exactly in line with the national benchmark, and its reading average of 101 is a point above, but the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in any of the three subjects is low: just 5% in writing and the combined measure, 12% in maths and 20% in reading. This places Cann Hall 27th out of 33 primary schools in the Tendring district, and in the bottom 50% nationally. For parents comparing headline metrics, the school’s overall attainment is clearly weaker than the typical Essex primary, though the data doesn’t include progress scores, so it’s hard to say how much of this reflects the intake versus the school’s impact.
