| School | KS2 RWM (2024/25) | Absence | FSM (6 years) | Pupils | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| This school | — | 6.1% | 52.6% | 225 | — |
| Hawthorn Primary School | 68% | 5.9% | 64.7% | 221 | 0.4 miles |
| St Margaret Mary RC Junior and Infant School | 72% | 4.3% | 51.1% | 353 | 0.4 miles |
| Warren Farm Primary School | 75% | 6.3% | 52.2% | 319 | 0.4 miles |

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
