The Phoenix Primary School

School overview

The Phoenix Primary School is a primary school serving Basildon, Essex, classified by the DfE as an academy sponsor led. It has 714 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 54% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That is down 21.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 14% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The Phoenix Primary 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 further down the page.
