About St Saviour's Catholic Primary School

St Saviour's Catholic Primary School sits well below the Isle of Wight average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with just 40% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 52%. That twelve-point gap places the school 29th out of 36 primary schools on the island, in the bottom 20% locally and the bottom 10% nationally. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 55% met the expected standard in reading and 50% in maths, but writing lagged at 45%, and no pupil at all achieved the higher standard in writing or in the combined measure. Maths and reading both saw a small number reach the higher bar — 15% and 20% respectively — but these figures are modest. The school's average scaled scores of 101 in maths and 100 in reading are exactly in line with the national average of 100, suggesting that while most children are not falling catastrophically behind, the proportion exceeding expectations is very low.
