About Scraptoft Valley Primary School

Scraptoft Valley Primary School sits in a difficult spot when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results to the Leicester local authority average. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 62%, but at Scraptoft Valley that figure is just 36%. That gap of 26 percentage points is significant and places the school 67th out of 68 primary schools in Leicester, putting it in the bottom 2% of the authority. Only one school in the city ranks lower. The school’s ranking score of 36 reflects this, and it falls into the bottom 50 nationally for this metric. It’s a stark contrast to the top performers in Leicester, such as Whitehall Primary School with a score of 91, and it means parents considering Scraptoft Valley need to weigh these outcomes carefully against what other local primaries achieve.
