About Clifton Primary School

Clifton Primary School is a primary school in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 210 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 53% 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 risen by 14.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 102 in reading and 100 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Clifton Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 22 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 5.6%. There are about 26.7 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 12% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Clifton 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.
