About St Teresa's Catholic Primary School

St Teresa’s Catholic Primary School sits within Lancashire local authority, where it ranks 141st out of 480 primary schools of the same type. That places it comfortably in the top third of its peers locally. The three highest-ranked schools in the area are Crawford Village Primary School, New Longton All Saints CofE Primary School, and St George’s Church of England Primary School in Chorley — all of which sit above St Teresa’s on the local ranking table. Crawford Village, the nearest outstanding-rated school, is just 3.3 km away. St Teresa’s itself holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. In its most recent ungraded inspection in June 2024, inspectors confirmed the school continues to be Good. The school is a Roman Catholic state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. Headteacher Cecilia Rigby leads a school that is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 51 applications for 30 places, with 29 of those going to first-preference families.
