About Burford CofE Primary School

Burford CofE Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when compared with other primaries in Shropshire. Its headline Key Stage 2 measure — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 52%, which is seven points below the local authority average of 59%. That places the school 62nd out of 88 primaries in the county, putting it in the bottom half of Shropshire schools. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single ranking suggests. In reading, 74% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average reading score of 105 is solid. Maths tells a slightly different story: 61% reached the expected level, with an average score of 102. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 4%, which is low, but individual subject higher-standard percentages — 13% in reading, 13% in maths and 9% in writing — show pockets of stronger performance.
