Mixed Primary Church of England
9.2/10 Well above average

13th of 448 primary schools in Lancashire we can score, 481 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.8/10 against 2,601 of them, against 9.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

How this is worked out
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 88.0 · 96 62% 5.93
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 16.0 · 85 38% 3.28

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 88.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 16.0% reached the higher standard. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.2 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 378 pupils in a building with 245 places, meaning it is over capacity by 133. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the significant over-capacity situation for new admissions? What specific support structures are in place to maintain the high academic standards with such a large student body?
