About St George's CofE Primary School

St George's CofE Primary School in Salford was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The most telling exam metric, however, is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2: just 41% did so in the 2023/24 academic year. That is significantly below the Salford local authority average of 61%, placing the school 61st out of 65 primary schools in the borough and in the bottom 50 nationally. While individual subject results were mixed — 66% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, compared with 48% in reading and 48% in maths — the combined figure tells a clear story of a school where academic outcomes are a real concern for parents.
