About Layton Primary School

Layton Primary School is a primary school in Blackpool, Blackpool, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 619 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 4.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 12% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 24% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 42% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Layton 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.
