Singleton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
6.4/10 Broadly average

102nd 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 2,100 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.1/10 among them, against 7.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 71.0 · 68 40% 2.73

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, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 12.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.1 out of 10 among them, against 7.0 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Forest School, play football, and participate in singing, brass, musical theatre, instrumental lessons, vocal ensembles, and MAD Week. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.

Getting in. The school has 100 pupils in a capacity of 105 places, leaving 5 spare spots. With so few vacancies, places are likely to be competitive for new applicants.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during MAD Week? How does the Forest School curriculum link to the national curriculum?
