About St Anne's CofE VC Primary School

St Anne's CofE VC Primary School in Wyre Forest sits well below the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 41% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Worcestershire average of 61% for primary schools. That gap of 20 percentage points is significant, and it places the school 99th out of 180 similar schools in the county, in the bottom half of the LA rankings. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: reading fares better, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard and an average scaled score of 102, while maths and writing both sit below 50% at 47% and 48% respectively. Only 3% of pupils hit the higher standard in maths, and none did so in writing. The school's ranking in the Wyre Forest district is 25th out of 27, putting it in the bottom 10% locally, and nationally it sits in the bottom 10% of all primary schools on this measure.
