Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School
Warrington, WA5 1NS · Warrington · primary school
36th of 57 primary schools in Warrington we can score, 69 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,720 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6/10 among them, against 2.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 42.0 · 10 | 40% | 0.39 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 42.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6 out of 10 among them, against 2.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend a Children’s university, join a Gospel Singing group, and take part in residential and educational day visits. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. With 189 pupils enrolled against a capacity of 209, there are 20 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the residential visits? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
