About Reedley Primary School

Reedley Primary School sits within the Lancashire local authority, a large county with 480 primary schools. In the most recent local rankings, the school placed 23rd out of 33 schools in the Pendle borough, placing it in the bottom half of its immediate area. For context, the top-performing peers in the same authority include Crawford Village Primary School, New Longton All Saints CofE Primary School, and St George's Church of England Primary School, Chorley. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Whitefield Infant School and Nursery, just 1.9 kilometres away. Reedley itself has held a Good rating across both its most recent inspections, including the graded inspection in March 2023, where it received Good marks for every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This consistency suggests a stable leadership team under headteacher Sarah Bell, who oversees a mixed, state primary for children aged 4 to 11.
