About Ansdell Primary School

Ansdell Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results land exactly on the Lancashire local authority average of 60% for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That places it squarely in the middle of the pack — 240th out of 480 primary schools in the county. Within the Fylde district, it ranks 14th out of 21 schools, putting it in the bottom half locally. The school’s maths scores are a relative bright spot: the average maths scaled score of 105 is above the national benchmark of 100, and 23% of pupils hit the higher standard in maths. Reading is close behind with an average score of 104 and 20% reaching the higher threshold. Writing is where the school struggles most — just 3% of pupils achieved the higher standard, and only 63% met the expected level. So while Ansdell is not a standout performer, it delivers solid, broadly average outcomes, with maths being its strongest subject.
