About St Vincent's Catholic Primary School

St Vincent's Catholic Primary School sits 47th out of 55 primary schools in Warrington, placing it in the bottom half of the local authority on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. Just 54% of its pupils reached the expected level in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Warrington average of 69% — a gap of 15 percentage points. That said, the picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects. In maths, 88% of pupils hit the expected standard, well above the national benchmark, and the average maths score of 106 is solid. Reading and writing expected rates were lower, at 67% and 71% respectively, and the proportion reaching the higher standard in any subject was modest — 29% in maths, 25% in reading and just 8% in writing. So while the school is not among the strongest performers in the borough, its maths results suggest that not all subjects are struggling equally.
