170th 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 3,288 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.7/10 among them, against 5.6/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.61 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Over Kellet Wilson's Endowed Church of England Primary School
Overview
Pupils are described as happy at this “caring and inclusive school,” where values such as “friendship and respect” underpin warm relationships. The report states that pupils behave well, enjoy learning, and “typically achieve well,” leaving them ready for the next stage of their education. Overall effectiveness is judged as Good, with particular praise for the quality of education, behaviour, and personal development.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a “wide range of trips and clubs” beyond the academic curriculum, such as archery and fencing, which help them develop new interests.
- Staff deliver a “well-ordered phonics programme” with clarity, ensuring most pupils become “fluent, accurate readers.”
- The school identifies the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) quickly, and these pupils “typically achieve well across the full curriculum.”
- Governors work closely with the school to improve education quality while ensuring staff workload is “not overly burdensome.”
- Pupils learn about healthy relationships and safety, preparing them well for “life in modern Britain.”
Areas to improve
- The school should refine curriculum thinking in a small number of subjects and early years areas so staff are clear about “what pupils should know and remember.”
- The school must ensure teachers consistently deliver the curriculum in subjects where evaluation systems are not yet fully effective, to prevent hindering pupil learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
