About St Bridget's Catholic Primary School

St Bridget’s Catholic Primary School in Warrington was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in February 2023, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The school now holds Good across all five inspected categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 60 per cent. That is below the Warrington local authority average of 69 per cent, placing the school 42nd out of 55 similar schools in the borough and in the bottom half nationally. However, individual subject results tell a slightly stronger story: 70 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading and in maths, and 67 per cent in writing, with average scaled scores of 104 in both reading and maths.
