Carnforth Christ Church, Church of England, Voluntary Aided Primary School
Carnforth, LA5 9LJ · Lancashire · primary school
208th 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 4,166 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0/10 among them, against 4.6/10 nationally. 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.86 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0 out of 10 among them, against 4.6 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 113 pupils in a school with 150 places, leaving 37 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the recent inspection report describe the quality of teaching in the early years?
