About St Anne's RC Primary School Crumpsall Manchester

St Anne's RC Primary School in Crumpsall sits in a tricky spot when you compare its headline KS2 results against the Manchester local authority average. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 57%, but at St Anne's that figure is 45% — a gap of 12 percentage points. That places the school 104th out of 122 primary schools in Manchester, putting it firmly in the bottom half of the league table. However, the picture isn't uniformly bleak. In reading and maths individually, 71% of pupils met the expected standard in each subject, which is a more respectable showing. The school's average scaled scores of 103 in reading and 102 in maths are also broadly in line with national norms. So while the combined headline figure lags behind the LA average, the individual subject scores suggest that the school's challenge is more about getting pupils to hit all three subjects simultaneously than a fundamental weakness in any one area.
