About Great Glen St Cuthbert's Church of England Primary School

Great Glen St Cuthbert's Church of England Primary School sits slightly below the Leicestershire local authority average for the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. The school's figure of 59% compares with the LA average of 62%, placing it in the bottom half of primary schools within the authority. In Harborough specifically, it ranks 19th out of 32 schools, and nationally it sits around the 59th percentile. That said, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading performance is a clear strength, with 82% of pupils meeting the expected standard and 33% reaching the higher standard, both well above typical levels. Maths and writing are closer to the middle of the pack, with 65% and 76% at expected respectively.
