Longsands Community Primary School

About Longsands Community Primary School

Longsands Community Primary School sits slightly below the Lancashire local authority average for its key stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths. The school recorded 52% of pupils reaching that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with the LA average of 60%. That places Longsands 308th out of 480 primary schools in the county, putting it in the bottom half of Lancashire primaries. Within Preston specifically, it ranks 27th out of 45 schools. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 76% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, which is a solid showing, while 66% hit it in reading and 62% in writing. Higher-attaining pupils are less common here — just 10% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and only 28% did so in maths or reading individually. So while the school isn't struggling, it's not punching above its weight either; families considering it should know that outcomes are broadly in line with a typical state primary in a middling position locally.
