About Clayton Brook Primary School

Clayton Brook Primary School sits well below the Lancashire average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with just 50% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the local authority average of 60%. This places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in Chorley, ranking 44th out of 46 in the borough and 327th out of 480 across the wider Lancashire authority. The gap is most pronounced in maths, where only 50% of pupils met the expected standard and just 9% achieved a higher score. Reading fares better, with 73% reaching the expected level and an average scaled score of 103, while writing sits at 64% expected. The school's Progress 8 data is not available, so it is difficult to say whether these results reflect the intake or the teaching, but the high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals — 56.1% — suggests a significantly disadvantaged cohort.
