About Mesne Lea Primary School

Mesne Lea Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, with the latest full graded inspection taking place in 2018. The most telling academic metric for this Salford primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. In the 2023/24 academic year, 53% of Year 6 pupils achieved this benchmark, which sits below the Salford local authority average of 61%. This places Mesne Lea 46th out of 65 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of local schools. The school’s ranking on this measure is in the bottom 50 nationally, at the 72nd percentile. While the headline combined figure is a concern, individual subject scores tell a slightly more nuanced story.
