About Stanstead Flying High Academy

Stanstead Flying High Academy sits slightly below the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 59% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with Nottingham’s average of 60%. That one-point gap is narrow enough to suggest the school is broadly in line with its peers, though it places 37th out of 72 primary schools in the authority, putting it just inside the bottom half. The school’s real strength lies in maths: 86% of pupils met the expected standard in that subject, and the average maths score of 104 is solid. Reading and writing both also hit 86% expected in writing and 68% in reading, though only 9% reached the higher standard across all three subjects. With 36% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a relatively disadvantaged intake, which makes its broadly average performance a reasonable outcome.
