About Oakfield Primary School

Oakfield Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when you line it up against other primary schools in Essex. Its Key Stage 2 results for reading, writing and maths show that 66% of pupils reached the expected standard in all three subjects, which is four percentage points above the local authority average of 62%. That gap is modest but real, and it places Oakfield 169th out of 444 primary schools in Essex — comfortably inside the top half of the county. The school’s ranking within its own borough of Basildon is 18th out of 39, again right around the midpoint. So while Oakfield isn’t setting the world alight with headline-grabbing scores, it is delivering outcomes that are consistently ahead of the typical Essex primary, and doing so without the selective intake or extra resources that some of its higher-ranked peers might enjoy.
