Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School
About Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School
Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School in Warrington sits slightly below the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline metric, with 63% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Warrington average of 69%. That six-percentage-point gap places the school 38th out of 69 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the middle of the pack rather than at the top. Yet this headline figure doesn't tell the full story. The school's reading results are notably strong: 93% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and 33% reached the higher standard, well above what you might expect from the combined score alone. Maths and writing expected rates were 67% and 81% respectively, so the combined figure is dragged down by maths, where only 26% of pupils achieved the higher standard. The school's ranking in the North West region sits around the 45th percentile, and nationally it falls just below the midpoint. So while the overall attainment is a touch behind the local average, the picture is uneven across subjects.
