About St Paul's Catholic Junior School

St Paul's Catholic Junior School sits below the Liverpool local authority average on the key headline measure for primary schools. In the 2023/24 academic year, 46% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 59%. That gap of 13 percentage points places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in Liverpool, ranked 83rd out of 102. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects. Reading scores are the strongest, with 73% of pupils meeting the expected standard and an average scaled score of 103. Maths is weaker, with only 55% reaching the expected level and an average score of 101. Writing sits in between at 69%. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 4%, well below what many local schools achieve. This is a school where the headline figure suggests there is significant room for improvement, particularly in maths and writing.
