About St Mary and St Andrew's Catholic Primary School, Barton Newsham

St Mary and St Andrew's Catholic Primary School in Preston sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 60, but the school’s own most recent data isn’t included in the available figures, so it’s not possible to say whether it beats or falls short of that benchmark. What is clear from its Ofsted record is that the school has maintained a Good overall rating across its last two inspections, with the most recent graded inspection in October 2024 confirming Good for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and early years provision. The standout grade is Outstanding for personal development, which suggests the school places a strong emphasis on pupils’ character and wellbeing. Compared with its previous inspection in 2019, the early years provision has slipped from Outstanding to Good, but personal development has been newly rated Outstanding, so the school appears to have shifted its focus. With 31 out of 480 primary schools in Lancashire rated Outstanding, St Mary and St Andrew’s sits just below that top tier, but its Good rating with an Outstanding element puts it in a solid position locally.
