Marleigh Primary Academy
Cambridge, CB5 8BG · Cambridgeshire · primary school
88th 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 3,955 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4/10 among them, against 4.9/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 62% | 2.40 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 38% | 2.54 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4 out of 10 among them, against 4.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a breakfast club and an after-school club. Activities include dodgeball, sports day, art and crafts, visits to the local park, and forest school sessions.
Getting in. The school has 150 pupils in a building with 472 places, leaving 322 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to reach the higher standard in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the forest school sessions? How does the school maintain engagement in classes that are significantly smaller than capacity?
