About St Patrick and St Edmund's Catholic Primary School

Around 367 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 52% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 2.0 percentage points year on year.

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made St Patrick and St Edmund's Catholic Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 17 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 6.5%. There are about 20.2 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 47% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. St Patrick and St Edmund's Catholic Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
