Blakeney Primary School
About Blakeney Primary School
Blakeney Primary School was rated Requires Improvement in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a downgrade from its previous Good rating in 2014. The inspection found that the quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management all require improvement, while behaviour and attitudes, and personal development, were judged to be Good. On the key academic metric for primary schools, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 54 per cent. That is below the Gloucestershire local authority average of 59 per cent, placing the school in the bottom half of schools nationally for this measure. However, the picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 77 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and 69 per cent in reading, while writing was lower at 54 per cent. The average scaled scores were 103 in maths and 104 in reading, both close to the national benchmark of 100.
