About Farcet CofE (C) Primary School

Farcet CofE (C) Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2015. The school received Good marks across all five categories inspected, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. However, the school's academic outcomes tell a more complex story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 35% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This is well below the Cambridgeshire local authority average of 58% and places the school at the bottom of its Huntingdonshire ranking, 55th out of 55 schools. The school's ranking score of 35 puts it in the bottom 50 nationally, and within the East of England region it sits at the 92.7th percentile, meaning only about 7% of schools in the region perform worse on this metric.
