Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
5.3/10 Broadly average

177th 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 — 9.0/10 against 1,402 of them, against 7.7/10 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.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 23.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.7 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the After School Group, Forest School, and football. Trips include visits to Blackpool Tower and ArcCinema. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.

Getting in. The school has 208 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With only 2 places remaining, how does the school manage waiting lists for new starters? How does the Forest School curriculum integrate with daily lessons? What specific support is available for pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard?
