Noak Bridge Primary School
About Noak Bridge Primary School
Noak Bridge Primary School’s most recent Key Stage 2 results show 54% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits below the Essex local authority average of 62% for primary schools. This places the school in the bottom half of its local authority ranking, at 272nd out of 444 similar schools. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 71% of pupils met expectations in reading, maths and writing separately, and average scores in reading (105) and maths (104) are both above the national benchmark of 100. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in reading (36%) and maths (25%) is respectable, though writing at the higher level drops to 14%. For a school with 18% of pupils eligible for free school meals, these results suggest solid core teaching, even if the headline combined figure lags behind the county average.
