St Lawrence's Catholic Primary School at a glance

Located in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne, St Lawrence's Catholic Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as an academy converter with a Roman Catholic religious character. The school educates roughly 218 pupils aged 3 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 77% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 20.0 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 top 40% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 69% 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 Lawrence'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.
