St Mark's RC Primary School
Manchester, M27 8QE · Salford · primary school
38th of 69 primary schools in Salford we can score, 76 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 — 4.7/10 against 2,099 of them, against 3.9/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| 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, 57% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. There are 235 pupils in a school with 240 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 maths? What does the daily timetable look like for a Year 6 student? How does the school manage the transition for new families given the limited availability of places?
