About Marlborough Primary School

Marlborough Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the Harrow local authority average, with 65% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 72%. That seven-point gap places the school 28th out of 41 primary schools in the borough, in the bottom third. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 85% of pupils met the expected standard in reading and 81% in maths, both solid figures, while writing at 69% is the main drag on the combined score. The school also achieves a higher-than-average proportion of pupils working at greater depth in maths (46%) and reading (32%), suggesting strong stretch for higher-attaining children. This mix of broadly average core results with pockets of excellence in maths and reading makes Marlborough a school that performs unevenly against its local peers — not a standout, but with clear strengths in specific areas.
