About St Mark's RC Primary School

St Mark's RC Primary School is a primary school in Manchester, Salford, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 233 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 57% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 9.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
