About St Paul's CofE Primary School, Leamington Spa

St Paul’s CofE Primary School in Leamington Spa posts a mixed set of headline metrics when compared against the Warwickshire local authority average for primary schools. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 62 per cent, while St Paul’s sits at 55 per cent — a gap of seven percentage points. That places the school in the bottom half of the LA rankings, at 102nd out of 196 primary schools, and in the 75th percentile within the Warwick borough. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading scores are a clear strength: 86 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, and 39 per cent reached the higher standard, both well above typical local figures. Maths is closer to the LA average, with 73 per cent at expected and 16 per cent at higher. So while the combined headline figure lags behind, the school’s reading outcomes suggest solid teaching in that area.
