St Mary Magdalen Catholic Primary School

About St Mary Magdalen Catholic Primary School

St Mary Magdalen Catholic Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in Brighton and Hove, with 60% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. That is almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 59% for primary schools, placing it 22nd out of 40 schools in the borough and in the bottom half nationally. For a small Roman Catholic state primary with a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (43.3%), holding its own against the LA benchmark is a solid outcome. Where the school does stand out is in writing: 85% of pupils met the expected standard, well above the reading figure of 80% and maths at 65%. Higher-attaining pupils are less common here — just 5% achieved the higher standard in maths, and none did so in writing or in the combined reading, writing and maths measure. The average scaled scores of 104 in reading and 102 in maths are respectable but not exceptional.
