About St Elisabeth's Church of England Primary

St Elisabeth's Church of England Primary sits in Stockport, a local authority where the average proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 62%. The school's own figure of 56% is six percentage points below that LA average, placing it 41st out of 67 primaries in the borough. That ranking puts it in the bottom half of Stockport schools, though not at the very bottom. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 79% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, and 76% did so in reading, both respectable numbers. Maths was weaker, with 71% hitting the expected mark. Only 9% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, and the school's overall ranking score of 56 places it in the bottom 50% nationally. For context, the top-performing local primary, Gatley Primary, scores 95 on the same metric.
