About Morecambe and Heysham Grosvenor Park Primary School

Morecambe and Heysham Grosvenor Park Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the Lancashire average for primary schools. Across the local authority, 60% of pupils reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, but at Grosvenor Park that figure is 55%. That places the school 287th out of 480 primary schools in the county, and 32nd out of 46 in the Lancaster district. The gap is not uniform across subjects: reading and maths scores are in line with national expectations, with an average reading score of 104 and maths score of 100. The real divergence appears at the higher standard, where only 2% of pupils achieved the top level across all three subjects, compared with a more respectable 17% in reading alone and 13% in maths. Writing is the weakest area at the higher level, with just 9% reaching that threshold. With 18. 8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, slightly above the national average, the school’s results suggest solid core teaching but less capacity to push the most able pupils to the highest outcomes.
