About St Ignatius Catholic Primary School

St Ignatius Catholic Primary School sits in the bottom half of Wakefield primary schools when ranked by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. Its score of 56 places it 68th out of 97 schools in the local authority, and below the LA average of 64. That said, the picture is more mixed than the headline suggests. In reading, 78% of pupils met the expected standard, and in writing the figure was 83% — both solid results. The maths expected standard, at 61%, is where the school falls notably behind. The average scaled scores tell a similar story: 105 in reading and 103 in maths, both around the national average of 100. Only 11% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, which is low. So while the school isn't struggling across the board, its maths outcomes and overall combined performance are weaker than many of its Wakefield neighbours.
