About Weeley St Andrew's CofE Primary School

Weeley St Andrew's CofE Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Essex local authority average, which is a significant point to weigh up. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 17% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 62%. That puts the school at the very bottom of its local authority ranking — 33rd out of 33 schools in Tendring, and in the bottom 1% nationally. The gap is stark across individual subjects too: only 28% met the expected standard in maths, 45% in reading and 21% in writing. Higher-attaining pupils are also rare — 7% reached a higher standard in maths and reading, and none did in writing. These figures suggest that, on academic outcomes alone, this is not a school where most children are currently hitting national benchmarks.
