About Brunswick Primary School

Brunswick Primary School sits in the middle of the pack for Brighton and Hove primary schools, but its headline Key Stage 2 results actually outpace the local authority average. The school achieved 63% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 59%. That four-point gap places it 17th out of 48 primary schools in the borough, putting it just inside the top half. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at the higher standard: only 5% of pupils hit the top mark across all three subjects, and just 6% did so in writing. Reading is a clear strength, with 88% reaching the expected level and 40% achieving the higher standard, while maths sits at 71% expected and 24% higher. These figures suggest a school that does a solid job for most children but isn't currently pushing large numbers into the top tier.
