About Copnor Primary School

Copnor Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit comfortably above the Portsmouth local authority average, with 58% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the LA average of 53%. That five-point gap places the school 11th out of 32 primary schools in the city, putting it in the top third locally. The school’s reading and maths average scores of 104 and 103 respectively are solid, though the proportion hitting the higher standard in maths (15%) and reading (25%) suggests most children are meeting expectations rather than exceeding them. Notably, no pupils achieved the higher standard in writing. The school’s ranking score of 58 places it in the bottom 50% nationally, but within Portsmouth it’s a strong performer, well ahead of the typical primary.
