About Clitheroe Brookside Primary School

Clitheroe Brookside Primary School is a primary school in Clitheroe, Lancashire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 135 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 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 risen by 20.0 percentage points year on 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 lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 102 in reading and 101 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 10% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). When you visit, you might ask how the school stretches its higher-attaining pupils and supports those who need to catch up.
