St Augustine's Catholic Primary School, Preston
About St Augustine's Catholic Primary School, Preston
St Augustine's Catholic Primary School in Preston posts a KS2 combined expected standard score of 62% in reading, writing and maths, which sits just two percentage points above the Lancashire local authority average of 60%. That places it 21st out of 45 primary schools in Preston and in the middle of the national pack at the 52nd percentile. The school is not an academic outlier in either direction, but its results are solidly in line with the typical primary in the area. What stands out more is the gap between subjects: 81% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, compared with 70% in reading and 73% in maths. That writing strength is notable, though higher-attaining pupils are less common — only 16% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and the maths higher percentage (30%) is the strongest of the three. The school's overall Ofsted rating is Good, a grade it has held across both its 2009 and 2016 inspections, with leadership and management also rated Good in the most recent graded visit.
