Whitefield Primary Academy

About Whitefield Primary Academy

Whitefield Primary Academy’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the Luton local authority average, a notable gap for families weighing their options. In the 2023/24 academic year, 57% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 62%. That places the school 23rd out of 46 primary schools in Luton, and in the bottom half nationally. The school’s ranking score of 57 puts it some way behind the top performers in the area, such as Tennyson Road Primary School (91) and Hillborough Junior School (90). However, the picture is not uniformly weaker. In maths, 74% of pupils reached the expected standard, and the average maths score of 104 is solid. Reading and writing both saw 71% of pupils hitting the expected mark. Where the school really struggles is at the higher standard: just 7% achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects, and only 19% did so in reading. That suggests the school is better at getting children to a baseline than stretching them to the top.
