About St Vincent's Catholic Primary School

St Vincent's Catholic Primary School sits in a tricky spot when you compare its headline metrics against the Ealing local authority average. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 71 per cent; St Vincent's achieves 62 per cent, a gap of nine percentage points. That places the school 53rd out of 65 primary schools in the borough, firmly in the bottom half. Yet the picture is more nuanced than a single ranking suggests. In maths, 90 per cent of pupils hit the expected standard, well above the national benchmark, and 55 per cent reached the higher standard. Reading scores are similarly strong, with 81 per cent at expected level and 59 per cent at higher. The school's overall Ofsted rating is Outstanding, a grade it earned in its most recent inspection in 2023, having previously been rated Good in 2014. That jump in inspection outcome shows a school that has clearly improved its quality of education, even if its KS2 headline figure trails the LA average.
