About The Merton Primary School

The Merton Primary School is a primary school in Leicester, Leicestershire, classified by the DfE as an academy converter. Around 416 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 58% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 9.0 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 lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. The Merton 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 further down the page.
