About St Ignatius' Catholic Primary School, Preston

St Ignatius' Catholic Primary School in Preston was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. The inspection report awarded Good marks across the board for quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. The early years provision, however, was singled out as Outstanding, the highest possible grade. This upward trajectory suggests a school that has addressed earlier weaknesses effectively under headteacher Luena Archibald. For a primary school with a capacity of 189, the most informative exam metric is the Key Stage 2 SATs results, which are measured against the Lancashire local authority average of 60. While the school's own KS2 score is not provided in the data, its position relative to the LA average would give parents a clear sense of academic standing. The school's Roman Catholic character underpins its identity, and the presence of a chapel on site reflects that faith foundation.
