Our performance data

At St Michael Catholic Primary School and Nursery, we are incredibly proud of the progress and achievements our children make as they move through the school. Our attainment data from 2021 to 2025 shows strong results across Early Years, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, with many outcomes matching or exceeding national averages.

Children at St Michael’s get off to a strong start in the Early Years, with Good Level of Development (GLD) consistently above national figures. Our success continues into Year 1, where phonics results remain high, and through Key Stages 1 and 2, where pupils make strong progress in reading, writing and maths.

We are particularly pleased with the improving outcomes for disadvantaged pupils, reflecting our commitment to ensuring every child is supported to thrive. Below you will find a clear overview of our whole‑school results across the last four years.
