About Northleach Church of England Primary School

Northleach Church of England Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit notably below the Gloucestershire local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 59%, Northleach’s figure is 45%. That’s a gap of 14 percentage points, placing the school in the bottom half of its local authority ranking — 159th out of 243 primary schools. Its ranking score of 45 out of 100 on this metric puts it firmly in the bottom 50% nationally, too. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 59% of pupils met the expected standard in maths and writing, but only 50% did so in reading. Higher-attaining pupils are also fewer than average, with just 9% reaching the higher standard across all three subjects. For parents weighing up academic performance, these numbers suggest a school where outcomes are below the typical level for the area.
