About St Dominic Savio Catholic Primary School

St Dominic Savio Catholic Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results stand out sharply against the Wokingham local authority average. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 70%, this school achieves 98% — a figure that places it first out of 34 primary schools in the borough and in the top 54 nationally. The school is also one of only six outstanding-rated primaries in Wokingham, and its nearest outstanding neighbour, Sonning Church of England Primary School, is 1.2 km away. These headline metrics suggest a school that is performing at a level well above the norm for its area, and the gap is not marginal: it is substantial enough to make St Dominic Savio a clear outlier in the local primary landscape.
