About St Mary's Catholic Primary School

St Mary’s Catholic Primary School sits in the bottom half of primary schools in Telford and Wrekin, ranking 36th out of 40 in the local authority. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 46 per cent, well below the local authority average of 63 per cent. This is a significant gap, and it places the school in the bottom 50 nationally for this measure. However, the picture is not uniformly weak. In reading, 71 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, and the average reading score of 102 is solid. Maths tells a different story: only 54 per cent reached the expected standard, with an average score of 98. The proportion reaching the higher standard in maths is just 7 per cent, and no pupils achieved the higher standard in writing. These results suggest a school where reading outcomes are broadly in line with expectations, but maths and writing attainment lag notably behind the LA norm.
