About Langstone Primary Academy

Langstone Primary Academy’s headline metrics put it well ahead of the Portsmouth average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 KS2 results, 70% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of just 53%. That’s a 17-point gap, placing Langstone second out of 45 primary schools in Portsmouth and inside the top 50 nationally on this measure. The school also outperforms the LA on individual subjects: 80% hit the expected standard in reading, 78% in writing and 76% in maths, while the LA averages for those subjects are not published but the combined figure tells the story. At the higher standard, 8% of pupils achieved in all three subjects, with 30% reaching that level in reading and 22% in maths. These are strong results for a state primary, especially given that 28.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a proportion above the national average.
