About Nateby Primary School

Nateby Primary School is a small state primary in the Wyre area of Lancashire, educating 80 pupils aged 4 to 11. Within the local authority’s 480 primary schools, it ranks 224th on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half of schools in the region. The top-performing peers in the same local authority include Crawford Village Primary School, New Longton All Saints CofE Primary School, and St George’s Church of England Primary School in Chorley, all of which score significantly higher on the same metric. For families prioritising a strong academic record, those schools may be worth a closer look. However, Nateby holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a step down from the Outstanding grade it received in 2008. The school is non-religious, mixed-gender, and led by headteacher Helen Smith. It is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 29 applications for just 2 places and an oversubscription ratio of 14.5, suggesting strong local demand despite its middling rank.
