About St Teresa's Catholic Primary School

St Teresa's Catholic Primary School in Rochford holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its inspections. The school's academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 56% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This figure sits below the Essex local authority average of 62%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally and 16th out of 19 schools in the Rochford district. However, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced picture: 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in both reading and writing, and 63% did so in maths. Average scaled scores were 103 for reading and 101 for maths, both slightly above the national baseline of 100. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard was modest, with 19% reaching that level in maths and writing, and 13% in reading.
