About Sabden Primary School

Sabden Primary School is a primary school in Sabden, Lancashire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 98 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 50% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 39.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 44% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 17% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Sabden Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links further down the page.
