About Holy Cross and All Saints RC Primary School

Holy Cross and All Saints RC Primary School in Salford holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its most recent inspections, including a 2023 ungraded visit that confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 67 per cent. That is six percentage points above the Salford local authority average of 61 per cent, placing the school 18th out of 65 primary schools in the borough and inside the top 50 nationally. In individual subjects, 82 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in maths, 80 per cent in reading and 76 per cent in writing. At the higher standard, maths and reading both saw around one in five pupils achieve that level, though writing at the higher standard was notably lower at just two per cent. The school’s average scaled scores of 104 in both reading and maths are solid, though no progress scores are available to compare against peers.
