About Baines' Endowed Church of England Primary Academy

Baines' Endowed Church of England Primary Academy sits in a difficult position within Blackpool's primary landscape. Its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that just 39% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 58%. That gap of 19 percentage points places the school 21st out of 23 primaries in the borough, putting it in the bottom 10% nationally. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 66% hit the expected level in reading and 56% in maths, but writing lagged at 50%. At the higher standard, the numbers are very thin — just 1% achieved greater depth in both reading, writing and maths combined, and only 10% managed it in maths. With 40.7% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with significant disadvantage, but the data suggests it is struggling to match the progress seen elsewhere in Blackpool.
