St Vincent's Catholic Primary School
Dunstable, LU5 5RG · Central Bedfordshire · primary school
8th of 36 primary schools in Central Bedfordshire we can score, 95 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 4,081 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.2/10 among them, against 5.6/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.94 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.79 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.74 |
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, 73.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, with the last inspection in July 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.2 out of 10 among them, against 5.6 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. A breakfast club is available for pupils.
Getting in. The school has 216 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 6. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How does the 2022 inspection rating reflect current teaching practices?
