Eccleston Lane Ends Primary School
Prescot, L34 2QN · St. Helens · primary school
2nd of 52 primary schools in St. Helens we can score, 54 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 3,485 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.8/10 among them, against 8.4/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 62% | 5.04 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 38% | 3.35 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 17.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.8 out of 10 among them, against 8.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a wide range of activities, including Lego, Knitting & Sewing, Chess, and Gardening/Eco Club. Sports options cover Taekwondo, Judo, Archery, and Fencing, while arts and music include Dance, Rock Band tuition, Choir, and Singing/Musical Theatre. The school does not provide a breakfast club or an after-school club.
Getting in. With 244 pupils enrolled in a school with 245 places, there is only 1 spare place. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when there is only 1 place available? What support is offered to pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? How do parents arrange care before and after school hours, given the absence of a breakfast or after-school club?
