About Lancot School

Lancot School, a state primary in Central Bedfordshire, sits right on the local authority average for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (RWM) at Key Stage 2. With 54% of its Year 6 pupils hitting that combined benchmark, the school matches the LA average of 54% exactly. This places it 20th out of 34 primaries in the authority, putting it in the bottom half of local schools on this particular metric. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at the individual subject scores. In writing, 80% of pupils met the expected standard, which is a strong result, and in maths, 70% did the same. Reading was slightly lower at 66%. Where the school really stands out is in its higher-attaining pupils: only 4% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, which is a notably low figure, suggesting that while the school is solidly average for the majority, it may not be pushing the most able children as far as some other local primaries.
