About Leyland St Mary's Roman Catholic Primary School

Leyland St Mary's Roman Catholic Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in June 2024, with one standout area: behaviour and attitudes were judged Outstanding. That's a notable improvement from the previous inspection in 2019, when that category was rated Good alongside everything else. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — 53% of Year 6 pupils achieved that benchmark in the 2023/24 assessments. That's below the Lancashire local authority average of 60%, placing the school 306th out of 480 primaries in the county. In the more local South Ribble ranking, it sits 25th out of 35 schools, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate area. The school's overall ranking score of 53 places it in the bottom 50% nationally.
