Primary schools in England ranked by grammar and spelling score
Ranked by grammar and spelling score (officially average grammar, punctuation and spelling scaled score) for 2024/25, highest first. Test score where 100 is the expected level. This is one measure on its own, not the School Chooser Score. It doesn't allow for the mix of pupils or the size of the year group, so small differences don't mean much. 100 schools listed.
