Halsall St Cuthbert's Church of England Primary School
Ormskirk, L39 8RR · Lancashire · primary school
23rd 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 2,183 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.5/10 among them, against 8.6/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 62% | 5.28 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 38% | 3.28 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Art Club and Kidz Club. The school also provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 190 pupils in a school with 175 places, meaning it is over capacity by 15. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when it is operating over its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in their end-of-key-stage assessments? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support families with varying work schedules?
