About Fleetwood Flakefleet Primary School

Fleetwood Flakefleet Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit slightly above the Lancashire local authority average for primary schools, with 62% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 60%. That two-percentage-point gap is modest, but it places the school in the bottom half of schools nationally and in the Wyre district, where it ranks 25th out of 35 primaries. Given that 54.2% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals — well above the national average — these results represent solid progress for a school serving a community with significant economic challenges. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2024, confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2018. Leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all judged Good, with no outstanding grades awarded.
