St Marys Catholic Primary School

About St Marys Catholic Primary School

St Marys Catholic Primary School in Wealden posts a combined Key Stage 2 result that sits slightly above the local authority average for primary schools, but the gap is modest. The school achieved 63% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with an East Sussex average of 59%. That four-point advantage places it in the middle of the pack locally — ranked 53rd out of 144 primary schools in the authority, and 20th within Wealden itself. Where the school really stands out is in writing, where 88% of pupils hit the expected mark, well above the national norm. Reading also performed strongly at 78% expected, while maths came in at 69%. The higher-standard figures are more modest: just 3% of pupils reached the higher bar across all three subjects, and only 6% did so in writing. The school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2012, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good, a clear improvement on its previous Requires Improvement rating from 2010.
