Ranked on 2025 KS2 results: the share reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths; the share reaching the higher standard breaks a tie. Each school's league rank is its place among its council's schools of the same phase with a figure that year; schools from several councils are listed by the same figure. England: 62%. A dash: no figure published for that school (DfE hides figures for small groups). Source: DfE, key stage 2 school performance tables, 2024/25; the same rank as the league tables (how it is worked out). Distances are as the crow flies.
