About St. Mary's Blackbrook Catholic Primary School

St. Mary's Blackbrook Catholic Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, the latest taking place in 2023. The most telling academic metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 37 per cent. This is notably below the St. Helens local authority average of 61 per cent, and places the school 45th out of 47 primary schools in the borough. Broken down by subject, 59 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 50 per cent in writing, and 48 per cent in maths. At the higher standard, the figures drop sharply: just 2 per cent achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects, with 19 per cent reaching it in reading and 9 per cent in maths. These results suggest that while the school provides a solid foundation for many, academic performance is an area where it faces significant challenges compared with its local peers.
