Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
6.9/10 Above average

72nd 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 4,045 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.3/10 among them, against 7.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 73.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.3 out of 10 among them, against 7.9 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access Bike Safety, Judo, and Kayaking, alongside trips to Windermere and Tower Wood. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 406 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 14 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 14 places remaining? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How are the outdoor activities, such as kayaking, scheduled within the weekly timetable?
