About Burnham Copse Primary School

Burnham Copse Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit slightly below the Hampshire local authority average, with 59% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 61%. That three-percentage-point gap is modest, and the school’s national percentile ranking of around 58th places it squarely in the middle of the pack nationally. Within Basingstoke and Deane, it ranks 22nd out of 40 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half locally but not dramatically so. The school’s strongest individual subject at KS2 was reading, where pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 and 72% met the expected standard, matching the maths expected rate. Writing lagged a little, with 65% hitting the expected level. At the higher standard, 9% of pupils achieved the top benchmark across all three subjects, while 15% did so in maths and 22% in reading. These are solid, if unspectacular, results for a school serving a typical state primary cohort.
