Woodplumpton St Anne's CofE Primary School
About Woodplumpton St Anne's CofE Primary School
Woodplumpton St Anne's CofE Primary School sits slightly below the Lancashire local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. The LA average for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 60%, while this school recorded 57% in the 2023/24 academic year. That places it 270th out of 480 primary schools in the county, putting it in the bottom half of Lancashire primaries. In Preston specifically, it ranks 24th out of 45 schools. The gap is modest, though, and the school’s reading results are notably stronger: 86% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, well above the national benchmark, and the average reading score of 105 is solid. Maths and writing both sit at 71% for expected standards, with maths averaging a score of 104. The school is oversubscribed — 65 applications for 15 places in 2025/26 — which suggests local families see value beyond the headline figure.
