St Margaret of Scotland Catholic Primary School
Luton, LU1 5PP · Luton · primary school
9th of 37 primary schools in Luton we can score, 46 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 — 8.5/10 against 3,144 of them, against 7.8/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 41% | 3.17 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.74 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 26% | 1.98 |
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, 75.0% 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 March 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Rosary Club and Mini Vinnies, and attend a Wintershall trip. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 453 pupils in a capacity of 450 places, meaning it is over capacity by 3. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications for the next academic year? Since the last inspection was in 2022, what specific improvements have been made to the curriculum since then? How does the after-school club support pupils who do not have a breakfast club option in the morning?
