St Simon and St Jude CofE Primary School at a glance

Located in Leicester, Leicestershire, St Simon and St Jude CofE Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as an academy sponsor led with a Church of England religious character. The school educates roughly 149 pupils aged 4 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 30% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That is down 16.0 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 102 in reading and 101 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 43% 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 Simon and St Jude CofE 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.
