Teaching & academics

On the published measures, Kirkham Grammar School's results trail national benchmarks, with an Attainment 8 of 42.6 compared with 46.9 nationally. The 0% figure for grade 5+ in English and Maths is unusual enough that families would be wise to ask the school directly how it has been calculated, as it may not reflect the full picture. Independent schools sometimes report differently, and a frank conversation about recent outcomes is worthwhile before committing.

The last word

A medium-sized independent option in Preston with 11+ entry; the published attainment data sits below national averages and deserves a direct conversation with the school.
