About Thornton Cleveleys Royles Brook Primary School

Ofsted's Parent View responses for Thornton Cleveleys Royles Brook Primary School show that 68% of the 44 parents who responded would recommend the school, though that leaves nearly a third who would not. The picture is mixed across individual questions: 86% of parents strongly agree or agree that their child is happy, and 87% feel their child is safe. But only 53% agree that concerns are dealt with properly, and 32% disagree with that statement. The school is clearly popular locally — for 2025/26 admissions, it received 84 applications for 35 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.4, with all 30 first-preference applicants receiving offers. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Wyre area, even if the parent feedback reveals some areas of dissatisfaction alongside genuine warmth for the school's day-to-day atmosphere.
