Lea Neeld's Endowed Church of England Primary School
About Lea Neeld's Endowed Church of England Primary School
Lea Neeld's Endowed Church of England Primary School in Preston holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with inspectors awarding Good across every category judged, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The school was not given an overall effectiveness grade in that inspection, but the consistency of its Good ratings tells a clear story. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: 80% of pupils achieved it, which is well above the Lancashire local authority average of 60%. That places the school 5th out of 45 primary schools in Preston and in the top 25% nationally. In maths specifically, pupils scored an average of 109, and 90% met the expected standard, while 50% reached the higher standard. Reading and writing also performed strongly, with 80% and 85% hitting the expected mark respectively.
