St Luke's CofE Primary School
Bury, BL9 9JQ · Bury · primary school
35th of 55 primary schools in Bury we can score, 64 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 — 3.7/10 against 2,982 of them, against 3.8/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.19 |
| 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
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (3.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in basketball, multi-skills, and multi-sports clubs. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 470 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 50. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 50 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is offered to help pupils bridge the gap between the 56.0% expected standard and the national median? How does the after-school club integrate with the main curriculum?
