Burnside Academy Inspires

About Burnside Academy Inspires

Burnside Academy Inspires is a small primary school in Sunderland where the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 45.9%, well above the national average. Its headline Key Stage 2 results, however, tell a more nuanced story. The school’s combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score sits at 56%, which is notably below the Sunderland local authority average of 67% for primary schools. This places Burnside 61st out of 73 primaries in the area, putting it in the bottom half of local schools. That said, the school’s average reading and maths scores both hit 101, exactly in line with the national benchmark, and its maths expected standard rate of 61% is closer to the LA average than the combined figure might suggest. The gap is largely driven by writing, where only 56% of pupils met the expected standard, and the proportion reaching the higher standard in any subject is very low — 6% in both reading and maths, and 0% in writing.
