About St Michael and St John's Roman Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy

St Michael and St John's Roman Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy is a primary school in Clitheroe, Lancashire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 130 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 57% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 2.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on 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 105 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). St Michael and St John's Roman Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 10 families who put it first were offered a place. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
