About Penwortham Middleforth Church of England Primary School

Penwortham Middleforth Church of England Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded and ungraded inspections. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 43%. That figure is notably below the Lancashire local authority average of 60%, placing the school 29th out of 35 primary schools in South Ribble and in the bottom half nationally. In individual subjects, 64% of pupils met the expected standard in both reading and writing, while 61% did so in maths. Higher-attaining pupils are less common here: just 14% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, compared with 21% reaching that level in reading alone and 18% in maths. The school’s average scaled scores were 103 in reading and 102 in maths, both close to the national benchmark of 100.
