Check the area around this school
263rd 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 3,597 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0/10 among them, against 3.5/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Stalmine Primary School
Overview
Stalmine Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils feel happy, safe, and well-supported. Leaders provide a well-balanced curriculum that fosters strong community involvement and high expectations for pupil achievement, including for those with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Pupils are "happy and safe," enjoying a wide range of activities and feeling respected by "kind and helpful" teachers.
- The curriculum is "well-balanced and carefully organised," with subject leaders identifying key knowledge and learning steps.
- Reading is central to the school, with pupils reading with "fluency and understanding" and for pleasure.
- Staff provide effective support for pupils with SEND, ensuring they "take a full and active part" in school life.
- Governors provide an "effective balance of challenge and support," while staff appreciate leaders’ consideration of their workload.
Areas to improve
- Subject leaders must develop their understanding of learning steps in the early years to ensure pupils build knowledge in a "well-ordered way" as they move into Year 1.
- Leaders should ensure high ambitions are fully reflected in the presentation of pupils’ work, as some work is currently "careless or untidy."
- Newer subject leaders require support to develop their expertise and monitor curriculum implementation more closely.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and being alert to signs of abuse.
