It has 233 pupils aged 2 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 48% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%.

There are about 21.0 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 49% 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 Augustine's Catholic Academy 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.
