Skerton St Luke's Church of England Primary School
Lancaster, LA1 2JH · Lancashire · primary school
336th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.5/10 against 1,932 of them, against 1.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 40.0 · 8 | 40% | 0.33 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.74 |
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, 40.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2022. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access Crafting Club, Hand Building, Sculpture with Clay, and LEGO Friends. Sports include Girls Football, Girls Handball, Mixed Handball, Athletics, Swimming, Tag Rugby, Hockey, and Netball. Arts and music offer Guitar & Ukulele Lessons, Voice coaching & singing (Young Voices), School Choir, and Dance. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 188 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, leaving 22 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What specific support is available for the 3.0% who reach the higher standard? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum?
