About Weeton St Michael's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School

Weeton St Michael's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School is a small primary in Fylde, and its headline Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Lancashire local authority average. In the 2023/24 academic year, 43% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 60%. That places the school 352nd out of 480 primaries in the county and in the bottom 50 nationally for this metric. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading scores are a real strength: 86% of pupils met the expected standard and 43% achieved a higher standard, with an average scaled score of 106. Maths is more mixed, with 71% at expected and 14% at a higher level, while writing lags behind at 57% expected and no pupils reaching the higher standard. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2024 judged it Good across all areas, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in November 2022.
