About Murrow Primary Academy

Murrow Primary Academy holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections, including the most recent graded inspection in March 2022. In that inspection, every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was rated Good. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year. Just 27% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is significantly below the Cambridgeshire local authority average of 58%. This places Murrow 26th out of 28 primary schools in Fenland and in the bottom 50 nationally by this metric. The picture is mixed by subject: 64% reached the expected standard in writing, but only 45% did so in maths and 55% in reading. No pupils achieved the higher standard in any of the three subjects.
