St Paul's Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Academy
Stockport, SK12 1LY · Cheshire East · primary school
67th of 114 primary schools in Cheshire East we can score, 123 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 — 4.6/10 against 3,548 of them, against 4.6/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.6 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils visit the Silk Museum and the Christmas Story Trail. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 105 pupils in a capacity of 150, leaving 45 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects? What provision is available for children who arrive before the school day starts, given there is no breakfast club? How does the small class size impact the range of activities offered during the school day?
