About Saint Paulinus Catholic Primary School, A Catholic Voluntary Academy

Saint Paulinus Catholic Primary School sits below the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 56% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Redcar and Cleveland average of 65%. That gap of nine percentage points places the school 30th out of 44 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of local state primaries. However, the picture is not uniformly weaker. Reading results are a clear strength: 88% of pupils met the expected standard and 34% reached the higher standard, both figures well above what you might expect given the overall ranking. Maths is more mixed, with 63% at expected and 16% at higher, while writing sits at 78% expected and 19% higher. The school’s average reading score of 105 and maths score of 103 suggest solid foundations, even if the combined headline figure lags behind the LA norm.
