About St Augustine's Catholic Voluntary Academy

St Augustine's Catholic Voluntary Academy sits in a challenging position within the Lincolnshire primary landscape. Its key stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that just 25% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 57%. That is a substantial gap of 32 percentage points, and it places the school 230th out of 280 primaries in the county. The school's ranking score of 25 puts it in the bottom 50 nationally for this metric. However, the picture is not uniformly low. In individual subjects, 58% of pupils met the expected standard in reading and 58% in maths, while 67% did so in writing. Average scaled scores of 102 in both reading and maths are in line with the national average of 100, suggesting that while combined attainment is weak, many children are making solid progress in separate disciplines.
