About Bispham Endowed Church of England Primary School

Bispham Endowed Church of England Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in Blackpool, ranking 15th out of 30 primary schools in the local authority. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 52%, which is six percentage points below the Blackpool average of 58%. That gap is worth noting, but the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 72% of pupils met the expected standard, and in maths that figure was 78%, both comfortably above the national average. The school’s overall score of 52 places it in the bottom half nationally, though within the North West region it sits around the 28th percentile. For a Church of England primary serving a community where 35% of pupils are eligible for free school meals — well above the national average — these results suggest solid, if not standout, academic performance.
