About Poulton-le-Fylde St Chad's CofE Primary School

Poulton-le-Fylde St Chad's CofE Primary School lands exactly on the Lancashire local authority average for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, with both sitting at 60%. That places the school in a crowded middle ground rather than standing out from the pack. Its ranking within Wyre, the borough it belongs to, is 27th out of 35 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half locally. Nationally, it sits around the 56th percentile, meaning a slight majority of schools across England perform better on this headline measure. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. That's a step down from its previous inspection in 2007, when it was judged Outstanding overall, though that was under a different inspection framework. For parents weighing up options, the data suggests a solid but unremarkable school that mirrors the typical Lancashire primary in its core academic outcomes.
