About St. Bernadette's Catholic Primary Voluntary Academy

St. Bernadette's Catholic Primary Voluntary Academy sits comfortably above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 68% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 62% across North Lincolnshire. That six-point gap is a solid indicator of consistent classroom performance, and the school's ranking of 14th out of 51 primaries in the LA places it firmly in the top third locally. The picture is even stronger in reading, where 81% of pupils hit the expected level and 53% achieved the higher standard — well above the national norm. Maths is slightly more mixed: 70% reached the expected standard, but only 40% secured the higher mark. Still, the average maths score of 105 and reading score of 107 suggest pupils are generally making good progress, even though the data doesn't include specific progress scores for this cohort. For parents comparing options, this is a school that reliably outperforms its immediate neighbours without being among the very top tier.
