About St Oswald's CofE Primary School

St Oswald's CofE Primary School in Kidderminster posts a mixed set of headline metrics when set against the Worcestershire local authority average for primary schools. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 58 per cent, which is three points below the LA average of 61 per cent. That places the school in the bottom half nationally, at the 61st percentile, and 61st out of 180 similar schools in the county. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In maths, 73 per cent of pupils hit the expected standard, and the average scaled score of 105 is solidly above the national baseline of 100. Reading and writing each show 58 per cent and 73 per cent at expected level respectively, while the proportion reaching the higher standard in reading and maths is 23 per cent in both cases. So while the combined headline lags the LA average, the school is performing respectably in core subjects individually.
