About Highfields Primary Academy

Highfields Primary Academy is a primary school in Burntwood, Staffordshire, classified by the DfE as an academy converter. Around 208 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 32% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That is down 37.0 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 in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 101 in reading and 99 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 12% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Highfields Primary Academy 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.
