About Charles Saer Community Primary School

Charles Saer Community Primary School was rated Requires Improvement in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a step down from its previous Good rating in 2014. The inspection found that the quality of education and leadership and management both require improvement, while early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes were all judged Good. On the most telling exam metric, just 41% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That is significantly below the Lancashire local authority average of 60%, placing the school 366th out of 480 similar schools in the county. In the Wyre district specifically, it ranked 33rd out of 35 primary schools on this measure, putting it in the bottom 10% locally. No pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.
