About St Lawrence Church of England Primary School

St Lawrence Church of England Primary School is a primary school in Rushden, Bedford, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England religious character. Around 126 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 68% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 6.0 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.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
