About Marlborough Primary School

Marlborough Primary School’s headline metrics sit well below the Birmingham local authority average, which is a significant point to consider. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, just 40% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 63%. That gap of 23 percentage points is substantial. The school’s ranking reflects this: it sits at 246th out of 292 primary schools in Birmingham, placing it in the bottom 50% nationally. The average scaled scores in reading (100) and maths (99) are close to the national baseline of 100, but the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in any subject is very low — just 1% in the combined measure, 6% in maths, 11% in reading and 9% in writing. For families focused on academic attainment data, these figures will be a central factor in their decision-making.
