About St Mary's Catholic Primary School

St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Thurrock holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, but the detail beneath that headline tells a more interesting story. Inspectors rated behaviour and attitudes as Outstanding, the highest possible mark, while quality of education, early years provision, personal development, and leadership and management all came in at Good. The school's academic performance is particularly striking at Key Stage 2. In the 2023/24 results, 87% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the Thurrock local authority average of 67%. That figure places St Mary's second out of 39 primary schools in the borough, and in the top 5% nationally. Reading is a clear strength: every single pupil reached the expected standard, and 60% achieved a higher standard. In maths, 93% hit the expected level, with 37% reaching the higher threshold.
