School Performance

At Blackfield Primary and Nursery School, we are proud of the achievements of our pupils. Academic outcomes are an important measure of school success, helping us understand how well children are learning and progressing throughout their time with us.

Our results reflect the hard work of our pupils, staff and families and our commitment to providing a high-quality education for every child. While we are proud of our academic outcomes, we believe that success is about more than results alone. We place equal importance on children's personal development, wellbeing, attendance, enrichment and readiness for the next stage of their education.

Below you can explore our latest outcomes in national assessments, alongside national comparisons where available. You can also find information from Ofsted and our most recent Challenge Partners review, providing external evaluation of the quality of education and provision at Blackfield.

Behind every statistic is an individual child. We recognise and celebrate the progress of every pupil and want all children to leave Blackfield with the confidence, knowledge and belief that they can continue to succeed.

Outcomes for Disadvantaged Pupils
As part of our commitment to equity and inclusion, we monitor the attainment and progress of disadvantaged pupils closely. The information below shows how disadvantaged pupils at Blackfield Primary and Nursery School are achieving compared with their peers and with disadvantaged pupils nationally. This helps leaders evaluate the impact of our provision and ensure that disadvantage does not become a barrier to success.
