About St Paul's CofE Primary School, Stalybridge

St Paul's CofE Primary School in Stalybridge sits below the Tameside average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 49% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 62%. That gap of 13 percentage points places the school 48th out of 76 primary schools in the borough, in the bottom half of the local rankings. The school's ranking score of 49 puts it well behind the top performers in Tameside, such as Broadbottom Church of England Primary School with a score of 100. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 71% of pupils met the expected standard in reading and 69% in maths, both closer to the national benchmark, while writing lagged at 66%. The school's average scaled scores of 104 in reading and 103 in maths are solid, though the proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects combined is just 3%.
