About Notley Green Primary School

Notley Green Primary School sits comfortably above the Essex local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 72% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the LA average of 62%. That ten-point gap puts the school in the top half of primary schools in Braintree, where it ranks 14th out of 46. The school's overall effectiveness was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. Ofsted noted that leadership and management, as well as early years provision, are both Good, and described the school as having 'improved significantly' since the last graded inspection.
