St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, Colchester
Colchester, CO3 9BE · Essex · primary school
24th of 391 primary schools in Essex we can score, 444 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 the 3,583 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.4/10 among them, against 8.1/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 62% | 4.65 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 38% | 3.48 |
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, 74.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 19.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.4 out of 10 among them, against 8.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. The school offers a breakfast club, an after-school club, and an After School Tennis Club.
Getting in. There are 218 pupils in a school with 218 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school at full capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications for the next academic year? Since the similar-intake comparison shows a lower score than the national average, what specific support is provided to help pupils reach the higher standard? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum to support learning?
