Lisle Marsden Church of England Primary Academy
About Lisle Marsden Church of England Primary Academy
Lisle Marsden Church of England Primary Academy sits in the middle of the pack in North East Lincolnshire, with 61% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. That is three percentage points below the local authority average of 64% for primary schools, placing it 30th out of 42 schools in the area. The school is firmly in the bottom half of the national rankings, at the 54th percentile, and in the bottom 50 tier overall. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single headline figure suggests. In writing, 77% of pupils met the expected standard, and in reading it was 74% — both comfortably above the school's own combined score. Maths was a little lower at 73%. Where the school really struggles is at the higher standard: just 11% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects, compared with 32% in maths alone and 36% in reading. That gap suggests the school is solid at getting most children to a basic level but less effective at pushing the strongest further.
