About St John's Catholic Primary School, Burscough

St John’s Catholic Primary School in Burscough posts a KS2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 63 per cent, which sits three percentage points above the Lancashire local authority average of 60 per cent for primary schools. That places it just ahead of the typical school in the area, though it is not among the very highest performers in West Lancashire — it ranks 26th out of 48 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the middle of the pack locally. Nationally, it sits around the 50th percentile, meaning it is broadly in line with the average primary school across England. The school is oversubscribed, with 24 applications for just 10 places in the 2025/26 intake, and only eight of those were first-preference offers, so competition is real. For a small Roman Catholic primary with just 85 pupils on roll, these headline numbers suggest a solid, dependable option rather than a standout outlier, but one that clearly holds appeal for local families.
