St George's Catholic Primary School
Southend-on-Sea, SS3 9RN · Southend-on-Sea · primary school
7th of 27 primary schools in Southend-on-Sea we can score, 33 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.3/10 against 4,284 of them, against 8.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in House Sports, Southend City Sports, Key Stage Two Mini Games, track Super Sports, and the arts project The Circle of Life. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 208 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 2 spare places. With so few vacancies, securing a place is likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when only 2 places remain? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How are the various sports clubs scheduled to ensure all pupils can participate?
