About Silverdale St John's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School

Silverdale St John's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School is a small primary in Lancashire with just 62 pupils, and its headline metrics tell a story of quiet consistency rather than standout extremes. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Good across all five categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. That places it in the majority of Lancashire primaries — the local authority has 31 schools rated Outstanding out of 480 total, meaning most are Good or lower. The school's Progress 8 score is not available in the data, but its KS2 performance can be compared against the Lancashire average of 60. Without a specific KS2 score for Silverdale itself, the key takeaway is that the school is operating in line with the typical LA primary, neither dramatically outperforming nor underperforming its peers. Its small size means results can fluctuate year to year, but the consistent Good rating across two inspections (the previous one in 2013 also rated overall effectiveness as Good) suggests stable leadership under headteacher Sarah Sanderson.
