About Penwortham Broad Oak Primary School

Penwortham Broad Oak Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including the most recent graded inspection in 2017 and an ungraded visit in 2022 where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric for this 4-11 mixed state primary is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined. Only 37% of pupils met the expected standard in all three subjects in the 2023/24 academic year, which is significantly below the Lancashire local authority average of 60%. This places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 32nd out of 35 schools in the South Ribble area. The data suggests that while the school is judged to provide a good quality of education overall, its core academic outcomes at the end of primary school are an area of relative weakness compared with local peers.
