| School | KS2 RWM (2024/25) | Absence | FSM (6 years) | Pupils | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| This school | — | 4.1% | 3.6% | 272 | — |
| Lostock Hall Primary School | 89% | 3.8% | 8.8% | 197 | 0.5 miles |
| Vernon Primary School | 77% | 3.2% | 4.7% | 394 | 0.7 miles |

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
