About Maltese Road Primary School

Maltese Road Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit above the Essex local authority average, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 62% across the LA. That five-point gap is modest but consistent, and it places the school in the top half of primary schools nationally, around the 40th percentile. Within Chelmsford, it ranks 18th out of 41 primary schools, putting it comfortably in the middle of the pack locally. The school’s maths and reading average scaled scores both sit at 107, which is slightly above the national benchmark of 100. A higher-than-average proportion of pupils — 43% in maths and 37% in reading — achieved the higher standard, though writing at the higher level drops to 23%. For a school with a below-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (10%), these results are solid without being exceptional, and they suggest a reliable, if not standout, academic offer compared with other state primaries in Essex.
