St Austin's Catholic Primary School
Wakefield, WF1 3PF · Wakefield · primary school
64th of 98 primary schools in Wakefield we can score, 113 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 4,151 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7/10 among them, against 3.2/10 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 | 51.0 · 21 | 40% | 0.84 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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

Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the School Council and Mini Vinnies clubs. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 310 pupils in a capacity of 315 places, leaving 5 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for the remaining places?
