About Marlborough Primary School

Marlborough Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit comfortably above the Cheshire East local authority average, a useful benchmark for parents comparing options. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 70%, compared with the LA average of 64%. That six-point gap puts the school in the top half of primary schools in the borough, ranking 42nd out of 113. In terms of higher attainment, 6% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, while in reading specifically that figure rises to 33%, and in maths to 20%. The school’s average scaled scores are 106 for reading and 105 for maths, both above the national benchmark of 100. These figures suggest a solid, above-average academic offering that is particularly strong in reading, though the higher-attainment percentages in writing (11%) and maths (20%) indicate room for further stretch at the top end.
