About St. Paul's (Slade Green) Church of England Primary School

St Paul’s (Slade Green) Church of England Primary School sits in Bexley, and its headline Key Stage 2 results are notably below the local authority average. Just 42 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Bexley average of 67 per cent for primary schools. That gap is significant, and it places the school near the bottom of the borough’s 61 primary schools — ranked 53rd. No pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, and the proportion reaching the higher standard in individual subjects was also low: 18 per cent in reading, 12 per cent in maths and just 2 per cent in writing. The average scores in reading (100) and maths (101) are close to the national baseline but not enough to lift the combined measure. For parents looking at headline attainment, this is a school where outcomes are clearly an area of focus.
