Aughton Town Green Primary School

About Aughton Town Green Primary School

Aughton Town Green Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2024, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s strongest academic indicator is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment, which sits at 73% of pupils. That figure places the school comfortably above the Lancashire local authority average of 60% for the same measure, and ranks it 12th out of 48 primary schools in West Lancashire — putting it in the top quarter of the local area. In the North West region it ranks 442nd out of 2,065 primaries, and nationally it sits in the 22nd percentile. The school’s ranking score of 73 is based on this combined expected standard metric, and while it is not the highest performer in the borough, it is a solid, above-average result for a state primary.

Digging deeper into the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, individual subject scores are generally strong. In maths, 91% of pupils reached the expected standard and 25% achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 106. Reading saw 86% at expected and 34% at the higher standard, with an average score of 107. Writing was slightly lower, with 77% at expected and 11% at the higher standard. The combined expected standard figure of 73% is the headline metric, and it reflects the fact that while most children do well in individual subjects, fewer manage to hit the expected level across all three simultaneously. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the attainment outcomes are clearly above the local norm.

The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 108 applications for 47 places and 43 first-preference applications resulting in 40 offers — an oversubscription ratio of 2.3. It is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 5 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Facilities include an outdoor playground, library, ICT suite, playing fields, gymnasium, art studios and a chapel. Sports on offer include tennis, cricket, football and gymnastics, and clubs range from film and book clubs to coding, eco club and drama. The school has identified SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. For families seeking a school with above-average academic outcomes and a broad range of extracurricular activities in West Lancashire, this is a strong option, though the nearest Outstanding-rated alternative is Aughton Christ Church Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, just 1.4 km away.
