About Martin Primary School

Martin Primary School sits in a competitive corner of Barnet, and its headline KS2 results tell a mixed story against the local authority average. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 67%, noticeably below the Barnet average of 73% for primary schools. That gap is worth noting, though it’s not the whole picture. In reading specifically, 87% of pupils hit the expected standard, and the average reading score of 108 is solid. Maths tells a similar story: 81% at expected with an average score of 107. Where the school really shines is at the higher standard — 38% of pupils achieved higher in reading, and 29% in maths, both strong figures. The combined higher standard across all three subjects drops to just 5%, which drags the overall ranking down. Nationally, Martin sits in the 38th percentile, and within Barnet it ranks 57th out of 80 primaries, placing it in the bottom quarter of the borough.
