Ellenbrook Community Primary School
About Ellenbrook Community Primary School
Ellenbrook Community Primary School sits squarely in the middle of the pack when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the Salford local authority average. The school achieved a 60% rate for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is almost exactly in line with the LA average of 61%. That places it 31st out of 65 primary schools in Salford, putting it in the bottom half of the league table but not far from the middle. Where Ellenbrook does stand out is in its maths results: 81% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, well above the national benchmark, and the average maths score of 105 is solid. Reading and writing expected rates are a touch lower at 76% and 78% respectively, but the school’s overall profile is one of steady, unflashy competence rather than standout excellence.
