About Bickerstaffe CofE Primary School and Nursery

Bickerstaffe CofE Primary School and Nursery is a primary school in Ormskirk, Lancashire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. Around 99 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 43% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 24.0 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 lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 100 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). When you visit, you might ask how the school stretches its higher-attaining pupils and supports those who need to catch up.
