4.7/10 Broadly average

217th 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.

How this is worked out

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 50.0 · 19 40% 0.77
Ofsted 52 34% 1.76
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 17.0 · 87 25% 2.21

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, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. The proportion reaching the higher standard was 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2022.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in hockey and swimming, alongside singing, playing instruments, composing, and performing. They take walks around the village, attend outdoor and adventurous activity days at Borwick Hall, make day visits to places of historical, environmental and religious interest, and go on a residential visit.

Getting in. The school has 22 pupils in a capacity of 56 places, leaving 34 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the national median in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the residential visit to Borwick Hall? Since there is no breakfast or after-school club, what options exist for parents needing wraparound care?
