About Maidenhall Primary School

Maidenhall Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit slightly below the Luton local authority average, which stands at 62% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. The school’s figure of 55% places it 28th out of 37 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of local schools. That said, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 70% of pupils met the expected standard, and in writing it was 67%, both comfortably above the combined measure. Maths was the weaker area, with 64% reaching the expected level. The school’s average scaled scores for reading and maths were both 104, which is in line with the national average of 100. So while the headline combined figure lags behind the LA average, the school is not dramatically underperforming across the board.
