Potter Street Academy

About Potter Street Academy

Potter Street Academy, a state primary in Harlow, Essex, was rated Good overall by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined at the expected standard, where 61% of pupils achieved this benchmark. That figure sits just one percentage point below the Essex local authority average of 62%, placing the school 17th out of 28 primaries in Harlow and in the bottom half nationally. While the proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is low at 6%, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: 84% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, with an average scaled score of 105, and 71% did so in reading. Writing and reading both saw 19% of pupils reach the higher standard, suggesting solid foundations in core literacy and numeracy.
