About Liberty Primary

Liberty Primary sits in the middle of the pack in Merton when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes, but its headline figure tells a slightly different story. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 61%, which is seven percentage points below the local authority average of 68% for primary schools. That places it 27th out of 42 primaries in the borough, in the bottom half of the table. However, the picture isn’t uniformly lower. In maths, 78% of pupils hit the expected standard, and the average scaled score of 104 is solid. Reading is similar, with 76% at the expected level and an average score of 104. Where Liberty really stands out is in the early years: its nursery provision was rated Outstanding in the most recent Ofsted inspection, and personal development also earned the top grade. So while the core academic benchmark lags behind the LA average, the school clearly has strengths in the youngest years and in how it supports children’s broader growth.
