St George's Catholic Primary School
About St George's Catholic Primary School
St George's Catholic Primary School in Southend-on-Sea is a clear standout when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the local authority average. The school achieved a 73% rate of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is a full 12 percentage points above the Southend-on-Sea average of 61% for primary schools. That places St George's 7th out of 25 primaries in the local authority, comfortably in the top 28% of schools in the area. The school's ranking score of 73 also puts it in the top quarter nationally. It's worth noting that while the school is performing well above the LA norm, it sits behind three other local primaries including Bournes Green Junior School and Darlinghurst Academy, so it's not the absolute top performer in the borough, but it's certainly punching above the typical local level.
