About Linton Heights Junior School

Linton Heights Junior School sits comfortably above the Cambridgeshire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 68% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 58%. That ten-point gap places the school in the top half of primary schools across the county, ranked 49th out of 210. The school's strongest subject at KS2 is reading, where the average scaled score of 107 and a higher-standard attainment of 48% both outstrip the maths equivalent of 105 and 26% respectively. Writing is a relative weak spot, with only 19% reaching the higher standard, though the expected standard rate of 79% is solid. The school's ranking within South Cambridgeshire specifically is 16th out of 55, putting it in the top third of its immediate area. These figures suggest a school that is performing reliably above the norm, particularly in reading, without being among the very highest-achieving primaries in the county.
