About St Teresa's Catholic Primary School and Nursery

St Teresa's Catholic Primary School and Nursery sits squarely in the middle of the pack in Harrow, ranking 22nd out of 38 primary schools in the local authority. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — 69% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — falls just below the Harrow average of 72%. That three-percentage-point gap is modest, but it does place the school in the bottom half of the LA table. The picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 90% of pupils hit the expected standard in reading, and 86% did so in maths, both comfortably above the combined figure. Writing is the drag, with only 69% reaching the expected level. So while the school isn't outperforming its neighbours, it's not far off the pace either — and its reading and maths scores suggest solid foundations.
