About Springfields First School

Springfields First School, a state primary for children aged 3 to 9 in Stafford, operates in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score sits at 65. While the school’s own most recent KS2 data is not available in this dataset, its Ofsted profile offers a clear contrast to the wider picture. The school currently holds a Good rating across all categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership. This is a notable step down from its previous inspection in 2009, where it was judged Outstanding overall. In a local authority where only 20 out of 308 primary schools achieve Outstanding, Springfields is now part of the solid majority rather than the elite. Its current Good rating, confirmed in March 2023, suggests a school that is performing reliably but has lost the exceptional edge it once held.
