About Mereside Primary Academy

Mereside Primary Academy’s headline KS2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — sits at 47%, which is 11 percentage points below the Blackpool local authority average of 58%. That places the school 20th out of 23 primary schools in the borough, firmly in the bottom half of its local peers. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 75% of pupils met the expected standard and 28% reached the higher standard, both figures that suggest solid performance in literacy. Maths tells a different story: 61% hit the expected mark, but no pupils achieved the higher standard. Writing sits at 72% expected, again with zero higher-standard results. So while the headline combined figure lags behind the LA norm, the school’s reading outcomes are notably stronger than its maths and writing results, and the absence of higher-standard scores in two of the three subjects is a clear area for development.
