About St George's Beneficial Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School

St George's Beneficial Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School sits in a challenging position within Portsmouth's primary landscape. Its key stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that 43% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is ten percentage points below the local authority average of 53%. This places the school 25th out of 32 primary schools in Portsmouth, putting it in the bottom half of the LA rankings. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading and 63% in writing, but maths was lower at 61%. Only 4% of children achieved the higher standard in both reading, writing and maths, and the school's national percentile ranking of 87.9 confirms it is performing well below the typical primary school nationally. These are sobering headline numbers, but they need to be read alongside the fact that 55.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average, which provides important context for the school's academic outcomes.
