Scarisbrick St Mark's Church of England Primary School
Ormskirk, L40 9RE · Lancashire · primary school
152nd 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 4,151 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.7/10 among them, against 5.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
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, 60% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 20%. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.7 out of 10 among them, against 5.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Code Club and AstroPi, participate in gymnastics, dance, triathlon, and outdoor adventurous activities, and attend an after-school club. There is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 40 pupils in a building with 105 places, leaving 65 spare spots. 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 in reaching the higher standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the small class size affect individual attention during lessons?
