Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
3.9/10 Broadly average

279th 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.

Narrow the comparison to the 4,344 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.1/10 among them, against 3.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.1 out of 10 among them, against 3.3 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend Forest School and Year 6 PGL trips. The school offers neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.

Getting in. With 190 pupils in a school with 210 places, there are 20 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the higher standard? What provisions exist for children who arrive late or leave early, given the lack of wraparound care? How does the school maintain its Good rating while performing below the national median in core subjects?
