About Lostock Hall Community Primary School

Lostock Hall Community Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 123 applications for just 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.08. Of those applications, 49 were first-preference choices, and all 49 received offers. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the South Ribble area. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high number of families naming it as their top choice is a practical signal of satisfaction. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character. It currently has 428 pupils on roll, slightly above its official capacity of 426, which further underlines its popularity. Headteacher Laura Webb leads a school that, in its most recent Ofsted inspection, was rated Good across all five categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision.
