About Ashton-on-Ribble St Andrew's Church of England Primary School

Ashton-on-Ribble St Andrew's Church of England Primary School has been rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. The school was previously judged Outstanding in 2014, and while the overall effectiveness was not re-judged in the November 2024 inspection, inspectors awarded the highest possible marks for personal development and for behaviour and attitudes. Academically, the school performs well above the local average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 78% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Lancashire local authority average of just 60%. That puts the school in the top 25% nationally and 7th out of 45 primary schools in Preston. The school also ranks 237th out of 2,065 primary schools in the North West region, placing it comfortably within the top 12% regionally.
