About Hesketh-With-Becconsall All Saints CofE School

Hesketh-With-Becconsall All Saints CofE School is a small Church of England primary in the West Lancashire area of the Lancashire local authority, serving 172 pupils from age 3 to 11. Among the 480 primary schools in the county, it sits some distance from the top-performing peers identified by local rankings, such as Crawford Village Primary School, New Longton All Saints CofE Primary School, and St George's Church of England Primary School in Chorley. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, conducted in March 2023, rated it Inadequate overall, a significant drop from its previous Good rating in 2013. The inspection found the quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management all to be Inadequate, while behaviour and attitudes, and personal development, were judged as Requires Improvement. With a capacity of 233, the school is currently under-enrolled, which may reflect parental caution following the inspection outcome.
