About Moor Nook Community Primary School

Moor Nook Community Primary School in Preston serves a community with a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 57.2%, and its headline Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Lancashire local authority average. Just 40% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 60%. That places the school 38th out of 45 primary schools in Preston and in the bottom 50 nationally for this metric. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single headline figure suggests. In reading, 60% of pupils met the expected standard, exactly in line with the LA average, and the average reading score of 101 is solid. Maths tells a different story: only 43% reached the expected standard, with an average score of 97. The proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects was just 3%, and no subject saw more than 17% of pupils reach the higher threshold.
