About St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School, Crawley

St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School in Crawley posts Key Stage 2 results that sit comfortably above the West Sussex local authority average, with 65% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against an LA average of 56%. That nine-point gap is a meaningful one for a primary school, and it places St Francis 51st out of 226 similar schools across the county — comfortably inside the top quarter. The school’s Progress 8 scores aren’t available in the data, but the raw attainment figures tell a clear story: reading and maths average scores both sit at 107, and 85% of pupils hit the expected standard in maths specifically. The school ranks 8th out of 21 primaries in Crawley itself, putting it in the top half of its immediate local area. For a Roman Catholic state primary with a Good Ofsted rating, these are solid, above-average outcomes that suggest a school delivering reliably for its families.
