Our Lady of The Assumption Catholic Primary School, Blackpool
About Our Lady of The Assumption Catholic Primary School, Blackpool
Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary School in Blackpool sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 58, but the school itself doesn't have a published KS2 score in the available data to compare directly. What is clear from the local context is that Blackpool has only two primary schools rated Outstanding out of 30 total, and this school is not one of them. However, its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2012 gave it a Good rating, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good. That's a solid, stable position in a borough where Outstanding provision is rare. The school is oversubscribed: for 19 places in 2025/26, it received 38 applications, with 16 first-preference offers made. That ratio of two applicants per place suggests strong local demand, particularly among Catholic families who value the school's Roman Catholic character.
