It ranks 170th out of 254 primary schools in the LA, placing it in the bottom half of the local league table. The top-performing peers nearby include Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric.
