St Botolphs CE Academy

School overview

St Botolphs CE Academy is a primary school serving Knottingley, Wakefield, classified by the DfE as an academy converter with a Church of England religious character. It has 304 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 10.0 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 around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 103 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 5% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). St Botolphs CE 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 further down the page.
