About St Modwen's Catholic Primary School

St Modwen's Catholic Primary School sits slightly above the Staffordshire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 68 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 65 per cent. That three-point gap is modest but consistent, and it places the school 93rd out of 308 primary schools of the same type in the county. In the more localised East Staffordshire ranking, it comes 11th out of 23 schools, putting it just inside the top half. The school's Progress 8 scores for reading, writing and maths are not available in the data, so it is hard to say how much value the school adds on top of pupils' starting points, but the raw attainment figures suggest a solid, above-average performance. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 66 applications for 43 places and 40 first-preference offers, which indicates healthy local demand.
