About St Patrick's Catholic Primary School

St Patrick's Catholic Primary School in Stafford delivers a mixed picture when compared with the Staffordshire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. Its proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 66%, which is just one percentage point above the LA average of 65%. That places the school 104th out of 308 primary schools in the county, and 24th out of 34 schools within the town of Stafford itself. The school's ranking score of 66 puts it in the top 50 nationally by its chosen metric, but within the local authority it sits behind three top-performing peers that each scored 100. The most notable strength is in reading and maths, where 79% of pupils achieved the expected standard in each subject, and average scaled scores of 107 in both subjects are solid. However, the proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects is just 10%, which is a relatively modest figure.
