Mixed Primary Church of England
8.5/10 Well above average

24th 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 1,605 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2/10 among them, against 8.5/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 81.0 · 89 62% 5.49
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 13.0 · 78 38% 2.98

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, 81.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2 out of 10 among them, against 8.5 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 240 pupils in a capacity of 242 places, leaving only 2 spare spots. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage admissions when only 2 places remain? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How does the curriculum adapt to the specific needs of this cohort?
