About Churchfield Church of England Academy

Churchfield Church of England Academy in Broxbourne sits at the bottom of the local league table for primary schools in Hertfordshire, ranking 314th out of 401 schools of the same type. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at just 33%, compared with the local authority average of 64%. That is a gap of 31 percentage points, and it places the school in the bottom 50% nationally. The picture is similarly stark across individual subjects: 58% of pupils met the expected standard in maths and writing, and 51% in reading, while the proportions reaching the higher standard are in single figures across the board. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available, so it is not possible to say how much of this underperformance is linked to pupils’ starting points, but the raw outcomes are clearly well below what most Hertfordshire primaries achieve.
