About Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School - a Catholic voluntary academy
Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School in North Yorkshire delivers academic outcomes that stand well above the local average for primary schools. In the most recent Key Stage 2 assessments, every single pupil reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — a perfect 100 per cent, compared with the North Yorkshire average of 60 per cent. That puts the school second out of 223 primary schools in the local authority, and inside the top 30 nationally. The scores behind that headline figure are equally strong: the average reading score was 111, maths averaged 108, and more than half of pupils achieved a higher standard in reading. While the school does not publish progress scores, the attainment data alone makes clear that children here are performing well above what is typical for the area.
