About Henbury Court Primary Academy

Henbury Court Primary Academy’s headline KS2 results sit well below the Bristol local authority average, a gap that parents will want to weigh carefully. Just 30% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with a LA average of 58%. That places the school at the very bottom of the city’s 85 primary schools in the rankings, and in the bottom 5% nationally. The picture is mixed across individual subjects: 52% reached the expected level in writing, but only 39% did so in maths and 48% in reading. Higher-attaining pupils are scarce — 11% achieved a high score in reading, 7% in maths, and none in writing. The school’s average scaled scores of 98 in reading and 97 in maths are both below the national benchmark of 100.
