About The Newton Community Primary School

The Newton Community Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. In its 2023 graded inspection, the school received Good marks across all five categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The most telling academic metric for this small primary school is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment. Just 50% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, which places the school below the Cambridgeshire local authority average of 58%. Nationally, this result puts the school in the bottom 22% of all primary schools, and within South Cambridgeshire it ranks 43rd out of 55 schools on this measure. Only 10% of pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, compared with 20% reaching the higher bar in reading and writing individually.
