About St Paul's Catholic Primary School

St Paul's Catholic Primary School sits well above the West Berkshire average for its key stage 2 outcomes. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 57 per cent, St Paul's hits 83 per cent — a gap of 26 percentage points. That performance places it 4th out of 57 primary schools in the area, comfortably inside the top 10 per cent locally and nationally. The school's Progress 8 scores aren't available in the data, but the raw attainment figures tell a clear story. In reading, 94 per cent of pupils met the expected standard and 48 per cent reached the higher standard. Maths saw 92 per cent at expected and 31 per cent at higher. Writing was similarly strong, with 92 per cent at expected. The average scaled scores — 109 in reading and 107 in maths — are both above the national benchmark of 100. For a school with just 4.4 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, these results reflect a cohort that is already performing strongly, but the consistency across all three subjects is what really stands out.
