About Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Catholic Primary School - a Catholic Voluntary Academy

Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Catholic Primary School sits comfortably above the York local authority average for Key Stage 2, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 62%. That five-percentage-point gap places the school 18th out of 47 primary schools in York, putting it in the top half of the local league table. The school’s ranking score of 67 also lands it in the top 50 nationally for this metric, though it sits some way behind the top three schools in the LA, which all score above 85. For a Catholic voluntary academy with a full roll of 420 pupils, these results suggest solid, above-average academic performance without being among the very highest flyers in the city.
