About Kincraig Primary School

Kincraig Primary School is a primary school in Blackpool, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 240 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 79% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That is down 17.0 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 around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Competition for places is real here - 84% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (32 first choices for 29 places). Overall pupil absence was 5.2%. There are about 16.6 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 46% 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. Kincraig 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 above.
