About Isleham Church of England Primary School

Isleham Church of England Primary School sits in East Cambridgeshire and, on its headline Key Stage 2 measure, comfortably outperforms the local authority average for primary schools. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 68 per cent, a full ten points above the Cambridgeshire average of 58 per cent. That places the school 48th out of 210 primaries in the authority, putting it in the top quarter of its local peers. The school’s ranking score of 68 also lands it in the top 50 nationally for this metric, and within East Cambridgeshire it ranks 8th out of 27 schools. So while Isleham is not among the very highest-scoring primaries in the county — the top three local schools all score 88 or above — it is delivering results that are clearly ahead of the typical LA school, and doing so with a cohort that includes 11. 1 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals.
