About Robins Lane Community Primary School

Robins Lane Community Primary School in St. Helens was rated Good overall in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2020, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2017. The school has maintained this standard, with an ungraded inspection in 2024 confirming it remains Good. Across the board, inspectors rated the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision all as Good. However, the school’s academic outcomes at Key Stage 2 tell a more mixed story. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 43% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is well below the local authority average of 61% for St. Helens primary schools. Nationally, this places Robins Lane in the bottom 50 of schools, ranking 41st out of 47 in the local authority and in the 88th percentile nationally.
