Bushfield School
About Bushfield School
Bushfield School, a state primary for pupils aged 7 to 11 in Milton Keynes, sits firmly in the middle of the pack when compared with its local authority peers. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 58%, which is four percentage points below the Milton Keynes average of 62%. That places the school 38th out of 54 primaries in the LA, putting it in the bottom half locally and the bottom 50% nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single ranking suggests. The school's maths average score of 103 and reading average score of 105 are both above the national baseline of 100, and its maths expected standard attainment of 81% is notably strong. Where Bushfield really falls short is at the higher standard: only 3% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects, compared with a more typical local picture.
