About St Patrick's Catholic Primary School

St Patrick's Catholic Primary School sits in the bottom half of Havering primary schools when ranked by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. Its score of 49 per cent on this measure is notably below the local authority average of 65 per cent, placing it 43rd out of 49 primaries in the borough. That said, the school is not without strengths. In reading, 84 per cent of pupils met the expected standard and the average scaled score of 106 is solid. Maths tells a different story: 69 per cent reached the expected level, and the average score of 103 is exactly in line with the national benchmark. The gap between reading and maths outcomes is the standout feature here, and it suggests a school where literacy provision is stronger than numeracy, at least at the end of Key Stage 2.
