Top Primary Schools in England by Key Stage 2 Results: 2025

Schools ranked by the percentage of Year 6 pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, using 2025 results published by the Department for Education. Click a school to see its Ofsted rating, results over time, catchment area and admissions.

Key Stage 2 results: Most independent schools don't take Key Stage 2 tests, so there is no direct comparison between state and independent primary schools. Independent schools are hidden by default.

About these league tables

A league table only tells part of the story. Results depend on a school's intake as well as its teaching, and a single year's figures can be volatile, particularly for small schools. Special schools are excluded. Ofsted grades are the most recent published inspection, which may be several years old. Use these tables alongside a school's full page, and visit before deciding. You can also browse schools by town or explore the map.
