Check the area around this school
198th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.1/10 against 2,017 of them, against 4.9/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 62% | 2.40 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 38% | 2.54 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Clayton-le-Moors Mount Pleasant Primary School
Overview
Pupils are described as happy to belong to this “inclusive school” where they are greeted by “caring and nurturing staff.” The report highlights that pupils behave well, work hard, and achieve well, supported by high expectations and a warm, welcoming environment.
Strengths
- Staff deliver the reading programme well, ensuring most pupils leave key stage 1 able to read fluently.
- Recent improvements to the curriculum have ensured new learning connects with previous knowledge, helping pupils recall what they have learned.
- Changes to mathematics teaching have positively impacted how pupils build knowledge over time, with older pupils recalling basic facts automatically.
- The school provides effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who access the curriculum alongside peers and achieve well.
- Pupils take leadership roles seriously and are passionate about serving their local community through charity work.
Areas to improve
- The school should ensure the curriculum is delivered consistently well, as staff sometimes do not select activities that match pupils’ needs.
- Teaching should routinely identify and address pupils’ misconceptions and gaps in knowledge to prevent them from moving on without these being resolved.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
