About William de Yaxley Church of England Academy

When you compare William de Yaxley Church of England Academy against the Cambridgeshire local authority average for primary schools, the headline metrics tell a clear story. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (the key KS2 benchmark) sits at 58 per cent. At this school, that figure is 37 per cent, which is a significant gap of 21 percentage points. This places the school in the bottom 50 nationally for that metric, ranking 54th out of 55 schools in Huntingdonshire and in the 91st percentile regionally. The school's ranking score of 37 reflects this challenge. However, the picture is not uniformly low. In reading, 65 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, and in maths it was 60 per cent, both close to national averages. The real drag comes from writing, where only half of pupils reached the expected level, and from the combined measure, which requires success across all three subjects.
