Burton Fields School
Burton-On-Trent, DE14 2PJ · Staffordshire · primary school
159th of 217 primary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 309 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.4/10 against 817 of them, against 3.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 45.0 · 13 | 40% | 0.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 45.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in October 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Girls Football Festival, Athletics, and the School Mini-Marathon. Arts activities include the BFS Music Concert, BFS Got Talent, Observational Drawing, and the Easter Scene Design Competition. Trips include visits to the National Memorial Arboretum, Twycross, and Abbot Beyne. The school has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 184 pupils in a capacity of 240 places, leaving 56 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading and writing given the gap between the school’s results and the national median? What provision exists for children who arrive late or leave early, since there is no wraparound care? How does the school manage class sizes to ensure individual attention with 56 spare places available?
