About Down Hall Primary School

Down Hall Primary School sits in a tricky spot when you compare its headline KS2 results against the Essex local authority average. The school's proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 58%, which is four percentage points below the LA average of 62%. That gap is modest but consistent across individual subjects: 71% hit the expected standard in reading, writing and maths separately, while the LA average for the combined measure sits higher. Where the school does better is in the higher standard — 11% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark in all three subjects, and in maths specifically 20% reached that top tier. Reading and writing higher-standard scores are 24% and 16% respectively. Average scaled scores of 104 in maths and 105 in reading are solid, though without progress scores it's hard to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils' starting points. Nationally, Down Hall ranks in the bottom half of primary schools on the combined expected standard metric, sitting at the 63rd percentile.
