About St Anthony's Catholic Primary School

St Anthony's Catholic Primary School is a primary school in Slough, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 480 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 55% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That is down 15.0 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 104 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). St Anthony's Catholic Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 35 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 6.1%. There are about 22.1 pupils per teacher. St Anthony's Catholic 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. 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.
