About Great Linford Primary School

Great Linford Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results present a mixed picture when set against the Milton Keynes local authority average. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 59%, which is three percentage points below the LA average of 62%. That places the school 35th out of 89 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. However, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story. In reading, 80% of pupils met the expected standard and the average scaled score was 106, while in maths 71% reached the expected level with an average score of 104. The school also achieved a higher-than-average proportion of pupils working at greater depth in reading (31%) and maths (31%), though writing at greater depth was lower at 20%. Overall, the school’s ranking score of 59 places it in the bottom 50% nationally, but its performance is not dramatically out of step with the local picture.
