About Eastfield Primary School

Eastfield Primary School’s headline metrics sit noticeably below the Leicestershire local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (KS2) stands at 62%, Eastfield achieves 60%. That two-point gap might seem narrow, but it places the school 120th out of 231 primary schools in the county, and 33rd out of 45 schools in Charnwood — firmly in the bottom half of its local area. The school’s ranking score of 60 on this metric puts it in the bottom 50% nationally as well. For context, the top-performing local primaries like Swithland St Leonard’s and Brocks Hill score 100 and 92 respectively, so Eastfield is some way off the pace. The picture is mixed when you dig deeper: maths scores are a relative bright spot, but reading and writing outcomes are less consistent.
