About Bure Valley School

Around 238 pupils aged 7 to 11 attend the school. 71% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 17.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 14% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 19% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Overall pupil absence was 6.6%. There are about 20.0 pupils per teacher. Bure Valley School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
