St Teresa's Catholic Primary School
Thornton-Cleveleys, FY5 3JW · Blackpool · primary school
21st of 29 primary schools in Blackpool we can score, 30 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 2,644 of them, against 1.8/10 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 | 43.0 · 11 | 40% | 0.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 43.0% 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. 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, 1.8 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join UV Dodgeball and KS1 UV Dodgeball clubs. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 232 pupils in a school with 236 places, leaving 4 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 4 places remaining, how does the school manage waiting lists for new starters? Since the 2025 inspection was recent, what specific actions have been taken to improve attainment in maths? How do the dodgeball clubs fit into the wider physical education curriculum?
