Ely St John's Community Primary School
Ely, CB6 3BW · Cambridgeshire · primary school
36th of 197 primary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 210 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,078 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7/10 among them, against 6.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 68.0 · 60 | 62% | 3.70 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 38% | 2.98 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 13.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7 out of 10 among them, against 6.7 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Choir, Orchestra, and French Club, or take part in Ballet, Modern Theatre, Jazz Dance, Funk it up Dance, Guitar, Musical Theatre, and Laura Draws. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 371 pupils in a building with 420 places, leaving 49 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific support is offered to help students bridge the gap between the 5.7/10 similar-intake score and the national average? How does the curriculum balance the wide range of arts and music options with core academic subjects?
