First school

Ages 3–9

Key Stage 2 performance

Marston Moreteyne VC School is a first school for pupils aged 3–9. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.

This applies to every first school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.
