Marine Academy Primary celebrates national award for pupil performance

Pupils at Marine Academy Primary, in St Budeaux in Plymouth, are celebrating after being recognised by SSAT (The Schools, Students and Teachers Network) in this year’s Educational Outcomes Awards. The award recognises that Marine Academy Primary, with its motto “where stars shine brighter”, is among the highest performing primary schools in the country, based on 2023 performance data and information from Ofsted.

The school was recognised in two categories, receiving awards for being in the top 10% of schools nationally for pupil progress and for being in the top 20% of schools nationally for pupil attainment in the 2023 KS2 tests.

The SSAT Educational Outcomes database compares all state-funded schools in England. To be recognised with an Educational Outcomes Award is a significant achievement and a testament to the work of the whole school community. 

Nicola Keeler and Georgie Reid, Co-Headteachers, Marine Academy Primary said:

 “This award reflects the exceptional efforts of everyone in our Marine Academy Primary community. We are so proud of the love of learning we have created within our school community and the lasting impact we are able to make for every child. Thank you to our staff team, our wonderful pupils and their families. We are so proud of you all.”

Sue Williamson, Chief Executive of SSAT said:

“Congratulations to Marine Academy Primary on winning two SSAT Educational Outcomes awards. This success is down to the superb learning and teaching, outstanding support and inspirational leadership of students, staff, parents and governors. You have made a huge difference to the lives of the young people in your school. Thank you.”
