About St. Mary's Catholic Primary School, Fleetwood
St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Fleetwood was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2018, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2016. The school has held onto that Good rating since, with an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirming it remains Good, though with some concerns flagged for the next inspection. The most telling academic metric for this primary school is its Key Stage 2 performance, which sits below the Lancashire local authority average of 60. While the school does not publish its exact KS2 score in this data, the gap to the LA average suggests that academic outcomes are an area of focus. The school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage — 54.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average — which provides important context for its results.
