Silver Springs Primary Academy
About Silver Springs Primary Academy
Silver Springs Primary Academy sits in Tameside, and its headline Key Stage 2 results put it comfortably ahead of the local authority average. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 71%, compared with a Tameside average of 62% for primary schools. That’s a nine-point gap, which places Silver Springs 15th out of 57 primary schools in the borough, and in the top 30% nationally. The school also performs well at the higher standard, with 10% of pupils achieving that level across all three subjects. In maths specifically, 85% of pupils met the expected standard and 24% reached the higher threshold, while reading and writing both saw 76% hitting the expected mark. The average scaled scores for reading and maths are both 105, which is exactly the national benchmark. For a school with a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals — 52.8% — these results suggest strong academic outcomes relative to its intake.
