About St George's Catholic Primary School - a Catholic voluntary academy
St George's Catholic Primary School sits in a fairly middling position within North Yorkshire's primary landscape, but its headline metrics tell a slightly more nuanced story. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 60 per cent; St George's comes in at 54 per cent, which is six points below that benchmark. That gap places the school at rank 149 out of 292 primary schools in the county, putting it just inside the bottom half of its local peers. Yet the picture isn't uniformly below average. In reading, 77 per cent of pupils hit the expected standard, comfortably above the typical LA figure, and 62 per cent did so in both maths and writing. Where the school really struggles is at the higher end: zero pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, and only 8 per cent did so in maths. So while the school is broadly in line with or ahead of the LA on basic attainment in individual subjects, it's the combined headline figure that drags the ranking down.
