About St Mary's Catholic Primary Academy

St Mary's Catholic Primary Academy in Kirklees posts a mixed picture when set against the local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 59% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits just one percentage point below the Kirklees average of 60%. That is a narrow gap, and the school's reading scores are a clear strength: 80% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading and 32% achieved the higher standard, both comfortably above the national picture implied by the LA average. In maths, 70% hit the expected level and 23% reached the higher standard. The school ranks 54th out of 94 primaries in Kirklees on the combined expected standard metric, placing it in the bottom half of the LA but not far from the middle. Its national percentile of roughly 60 suggests it is performing in line with a typical state primary, rather than standing out as either a high-flyer or a struggling school.
