About Binstead Primary School

Binstead Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Isle of Wight average for primary schools. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 52%, Binstead’s figure is 46%. That gap of six percentage points places the school 25th out of 36 primary schools in the authority, in the bottom half of the local table. Nationally, it ranks in the 85th percentile, meaning roughly 85% of primary schools in England outperform it on this measure. The school’s reading results are the weakest area: only 50% of pupils met the expected standard, compared with 75% in writing and 82% in maths. Higher-attaining pupils are also scarce in reading, with just 4% reaching the higher standard, versus 18% in maths and 11% in writing. These figures suggest a school where maths is a relative strength but literacy, particularly reading, needs attention.
