Brookfield Community Primary School

About Brookfield Community Primary School

Brookfield Community Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit notably below the Lancashire local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 60 per cent, Brookfield’s figure is 40 per cent. That 20-point gap places the school 39th out of 45 primary schools in Preston, and in the bottom half nationally. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 70 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in maths, which is a solid showing, but reading (47 per cent) and writing (60 per cent) lag further behind. At the higher standard, the numbers are very small — just 3 per cent of pupils achieved higher in reading and in the combined measure, and 13 per cent in maths. These are not strong headline metrics, but they need to be read alongside the fact that over 40 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average and suggests the school serves a community with significant disadvantage.
