Clayton-le-Woods Church of England Primary School
Chorley, PR6 7EU · Lancashire · primary school
323rd 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 2,385 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6/10 among them, against 2.1/10 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 | 42.0 · 10 | 40% | 0.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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, 42.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6 out of 10 among them, against 2.1 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 219 pupils in a capacity of 236, leaving 17 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in literacy? What specific activities are available for pupils to join after the main lessons? How does the school plan to maintain its Good rating following the recent inspection?
