In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 8.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 36% of primary schools nationally.

Marner Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 61 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 7.4%. There are about 19.6 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 51% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Marner Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
