About Mablins Lane Community Primary School

Mablins Lane Community Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when compared with other primary schools in Cheshire East. Its Key Stage 2 results for reading, writing and maths combined at the expected standard stand at 52%, which is 12 percentage points below the local authority average of 64%. That places the school 88th out of 123 primary schools in the borough, firmly in the bottom half. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single headline number. In reading, 84% of pupils reached the expected standard and 26% achieved the higher standard, both solid figures. Maths tells a similar story, with 73% at expected and 14% at the higher level. The real drag on the combined score comes from writing, where only 54% met the expected standard and just 1% reached the higher threshold. So while the school is clearly behind the LA average overall, its reading and maths outcomes are respectable, and the challenge is concentrated in writing attainment.
