About Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School Leigh

Around 298 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 51% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%.

On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School Leigh 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 further down the page.
