Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School at a glance

Located in St Helens, St. Helens, Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Roman Catholic religious character. The school educates roughly 144 pupils aged 3 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 37% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That is down 20.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 6 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 6.0%. There are about 14.3 pupils per teacher. Corpus Christi 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.
