About Carnforth Community Primary School

Carnforth Community Primary School’s headline metrics sit below the Lancashire local authority average for primary schools, which stands at 60% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Carnforth, just 29% of pupils achieved that combined benchmark in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, a figure that places the school 401st out of 480 similar schools in the county. The gap is significant, but the picture isn’t uniformly low. In reading, 76% of pupils met the expected standard and 29% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 108. Maths tells a different story: 59% hit the expected level, only 6% reached the higher standard, and the average score was 102. Writing was the weakest area, with just 35% meeting expectations and 6% at the higher level. The school’s ranking in the Lancaster local authority area is 44th out of 46 schools, placing it in the bottom 50% nationally. These results suggest a school where reading is a relative strength but maths and writing need sustained focus.
