About Granby Primary School

Granby Primary School sits in a tricky spot when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the Leicester local authority average. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 62%, but at Granby just 43% of pupils hit that benchmark. That places the school 64th out of 68 primary schools in Leicester, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. On the flip side, the school's reading scores tell a stronger story: 72% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, and the average reading score of 104 is solid. Maths is more of a mixed bag, with 53% reaching the expected standard and an average score of 102. The proportion of pupils hitting the higher standard across all three subjects is just 2%, which is notably low. So while Granby isn't performing poorly across the board, the combined headline figure is a clear area where it lags behind many other Leicester primaries.
