St Gregory's RC Primary School, A Voluntary Academy
Bolton, BL4 8AJ · Bolton · primary school
26th of 88 primary schools in Bolton we can score, 97 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.2/10 against 2,023 of them, against 6.9/10 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 | 82.0 · 90 | 40% | 3.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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, 82.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 191 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, leaving 19 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 19 places remaining, how quickly do these fill up during the academic year? Since the inspection was in 2024, what specific improvements have been made to the curriculum since then? How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths?
