St Bernard's Roman Catholic Primary & Nursery School

About St Bernard's Roman Catholic Primary & Nursery School

St Bernard's Roman Catholic Primary & Nursery School sits in an unusual spot within Cheshire West and Chester: its headline KS2 metric of 48% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths falls well below the local authority average of 61%. That 13-point gap places the school in the bottom half of the 110 primaries in the borough, ranked 87th. But the story is more nuanced than a single number suggests. The school's reading average score of 103 and maths average of 100 are both in line with national expectations, and 13% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects. The local authority average for that higher benchmark isn't provided, but the school's own higher-standard rates — 26% in reading, 19% in maths, 19% in writing — show a decent spread of stronger outcomes. So while the core expected-standard figure is a concern, the school isn't failing its pupils across the board; it's a mixed picture that warrants a closer look at the Ofsted findings.
