Caslon Primary Community School
About Caslon Primary Community School
Caslon Primary Community School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit above the Dudley local authority average, but the picture is more mixed than that headline suggests. The school’s combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 67% beats the LA average of 59% by eight percentage points, placing it 24th out of 69 primary schools in the borough. That’s a solid mid-table position, though it’s worth noting that the three top-performing schools in Dudley all scored 81 or higher. Where Caslon really stands out is in maths: 88% of pupils reached the expected standard, and the average maths score of 104 is strong. Reading also performs well, with 76% at expected and an average score of 106. The catch is that no pupils reached the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, and writing higher attainment sits at 0%, suggesting that while most children are meeting the benchmark, very few are exceeding it.
