About Home Farm Primary School

Home Farm Primary School is a primary school in Colchester, Essex, classified by the DfE as an academy converter. Around 424 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 75% 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 fallen by 3.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 20% 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). 13% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 6% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Home Farm 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.
