About Yealand Church of England Primary School

Yealand Church of England Primary School is a tiny village primary in Lancashire, with just 36 pupils on roll, and its headline metrics tell a story of a school that is both popular and performing well above the local average. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for its 5 available places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 17 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 4. All 5 first-preference families were offered a place, but the sheer volume of demand suggests a strong local reputation. While the data doesn't include a specific Progress 8 score for this primary, the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 60. Yealand's Good Ofsted rating, held consistently across its most recent graded inspection in 2017 and an ungraded visit in 2022, places it in solid territory compared with the 31 schools in Lancashire that have achieved Outstanding.
