About Prince Albert Junior and Infant School

That places it comfortably in the top quarter of all primary schools in the city, with a ranking score of 74 based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. The school is in good company: the top-performing peers in the area include Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest, all of which score in the low-to-mid 90s.
