About Springfield Academy

Springfield Academy’s headline KS2 results sit notably below the Nottingham local authority average, which is a key point for parents to weigh up. Just 45% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 60%. That puts the school in the bottom half of primary schools in Nottingham, ranking 63rd out of 72, and in the bottom 50% nationally. The individual subject scores tell a similar story: 64% reached the expected level in maths and writing, and 59% in reading, but no pupils achieved the higher standard in any of the three subjects. The average scaled scores in reading and maths both sit at exactly 100, which is the national baseline. For context, the top-performing schools in the LA, like St Teresa’s Catholic Primary School, achieve a ranking score of 90, while Springfield’s score is 45. The school is also oversubscribed, with 25 applications for 16 places in 2025/26, so demand remains strong despite the academic results.
