About St Mary's Catholic Primary School

St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Wychavon sits below the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 56% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Worcestershire average of 61%. That gap of five percentage points places the school 71st out of 180 primary schools in the county and 14th out of 17 schools in Wychavon itself. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 78% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, which is a solid result, but only 56% did so in writing, and 67% in reading. Average scaled scores in reading and maths both came in at 104, exactly in line with the national benchmark. The school's ranking places it in the bottom 50 nationally by this metric, though it's worth noting that the cohort is small — just 145 pupils on roll — so individual results can shift the percentages noticeably from year to year.
