School overview

Dallow Primary School is a primary school serving Luton, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. It has 616 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. 63% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 7.0 percentage points year on 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 103 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 1% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Dallow Primary School is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 99 first choices for 89 places. Overall pupil absence was 6.1%. There are about 20.8 pupils per teacher. Dallow 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.
