Marlborough Primary Academy

About Marlborough Primary Academy

Marlborough Primary Academy stands out in Plymouth for its strong academic performance, with 75% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That is a full 12 percentage points above the local authority average of 63% for primary schools, placing the school 14th out of 65 primaries in Plymouth and comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. This is all the more notable given that 49.2% of its 120 pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average. The school’s progress scores are not published in the data, but the headline attainment figures suggest pupils here are achieving well above what might be expected given the intake. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2023, the school was rated Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019.
