About Burnley Springfield Community Primary School

Burnley Springfield Community Primary School sits in a tricky spot compared with the local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 48% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is a full 12 percentage points below the Lancashire average of 60%. That gap is significant, and it’s reflected in the school’s ranking: it places 20th out of 28 primary schools in Burnley, putting it in the bottom half locally and the bottom 50% nationally. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects. In reading, maths and writing, 61% of pupils hit the expected mark in each, which is closer to the LA norm, but the proportion reaching the higher standard is very low — just 3% across all three subjects. So while the school isn’t struggling across the board, it clearly has work to do to lift overall attainment.
