Thornton Cleveleys Manor Beach Primary School
About Thornton Cleveleys Manor Beach Primary School
Thornton Cleveleys Manor Beach Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results comfortably outpace the Lancashire local authority average, marking it as a stronger-than-typical performer for a state primary in the area. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 60%, this school achieved 70% in the 2023/24 academic year. That places it 136th out of 480 primaries in Lancashire, and 12th out of 35 schools in the Wyre district — a solid mid-to-upper showing. The school’s ranking score of 70 puts it in the top 50 nationally by this metric, though it’s worth noting that no pupils reached the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined. Still, the headline figure suggests a school that is delivering above the norm for its local authority, particularly given that 59.2% of its 125 pupils are eligible for free school meals, a high proportion that often correlates with lower outcomes elsewhere.
