About Ormskirk West End School

Ormskirk West End School, a state primary for mixed pupils aged 5 to 11 in West Lancashire, holds a Good rating from its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2019, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2017. The school's most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 30%. This is half the Lancashire local authority average of 60%, placing the school in the bottom 50 nationally for this measure. In individual subjects, 70% of pupils met expectations in both reading and writing, while 50% did so in maths. Higher standard attainment is limited: 10% reached the higher bar in maths and writing, and no pupils achieved the higher standard in reading. The school's average scaled scores were 100 in reading and 102 in maths.
