About St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, Basildon

St Teresa's Catholic Primary School in Basildon has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2016, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed the school remains Good. That 2021 visit judged leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all as Good. It is a notable turnaround from the school's previous graded inspection in 2012, when it was rated Inadequate overall. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2: 70% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That comfortably exceeds the local authority average for Essex primary schools, which sits at 62%. In the local Basildon area, St Teresa's ranks 10th out of 39 primary schools on this measure, placing it in the top quarter of schools in the borough.
