About St Edward's Catholic Primary School

St Edward's Catholic Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when compared with other primary schools in Middlesbrough. Its headline Key Stage 2 result — 57% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — falls just below the local authority average of 62%. That places the school 24th out of 37 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. Nationally, it sits around the 64th percentile, which is broadly in line with its middling local rank. The picture is more nuanced when you dig into individual subjects. Reading is a clear strength: 88% of pupils hit the expected standard and 48% reached the higher standard, both well above what you might expect given the overall score. Maths and writing are closer to the LA norm, with 62% and 83% at expected level respectively. So while the combined headline figure is a touch below average, the school is not struggling across the board — reading results are notably strong.
