About Marsh Green Primary School

Marsh Green Primary School sits comfortably above the Barking and Dagenham local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 69% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a LA average of 65%. That four-point gap places the school 14th out of 45 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top third locally. The school’s ranking score of 69 also lands it within the top 50 nationally for this metric, a solid result for a state primary serving a community where 31.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals. While it doesn’t match the very top performers in the area — Rush Green, St Margarets and St Teresa all score in the 80s — Marsh Green is clearly delivering above the typical Barking and Dagenham primary, and comfortably ahead of many of its peers.
