Within the local authority’s 74 primary schools, it sits among a competitive field where the top-performing peers include St Thomas Church of England Primary School in Lydiate, St Robert Bellarmine Catholic Primary School, and Shoreside Primary School. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated its overall effectiveness as Requires Improvement, a grade it also received in its previous inspection in 2021. While personal development was judged Good, behaviour and attitudes, quality of education, and leadership and management all fell to Requires Improvement, and early years provision also dropped from Good to Requires Improvement.
