About St Wilfrid's CofE Junior and Infant School

St Wilfrid's CofE Junior and Infant School sits in a tricky spot when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the Manchester local authority average. The school's proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 63%, which is six percentage points above the LA average of 57% for primary schools. That's a meaningful gap in the right direction, and it places St Wilfrid's 40th out of 137 primary schools in the borough, just inside the top third. But the picture is more mixed at the higher end: only 3% of pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, and the school ranks 39th in Manchester on that metric, putting it in the bottom half of the LA. So while the school is comfortably above average for getting children to the expected level, it's not pushing many into the top tier of attainment.
