About Kingsmoor Academy
Kingsmoor Academy, a state primary in Harlow, delivers a notably stronger set of headline results than the average for its local authority. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 71% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 62%. That nine-point gap places the school comfortably above the Essex norm and ranks it 9th out of 28 primary schools in the Harlow area. The school also outperforms on individual subjects: 83% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 81% in maths, and 77% in writing. At the higher standard, 43% of pupils achieved above the expected level in reading, while 17% did so in maths. These figures suggest a school that is consistently delivering above-average outcomes across the core subjects, particularly in reading, where the proportion reaching the higher standard is notably strong.
