About Lytham Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School

Lytham Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit just below the Lancashire local authority average for primary schools. The data shows that 58% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 60%. That two-point gap is modest, but it places the school 16th out of 21 primary schools in Fylde, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate borough. On the positive side, reading is a clear strength: 88% of pupils reached the expected standard and 18% achieved a higher score, with an average scaled score of 105. Maths also holds up reasonably well, with 76% at the expected level and an average score of 103. Writing is the weaker spot, with only 67% reaching the expected standard and just 9% hitting the higher threshold. The school’s national ranking, based on the combined expected standard metric, places it in the 60th percentile, meaning it performs slightly better than the median primary school nationally.
