Waterloo Lodge

North West · PR6 7AX

Waterloo Lodge is among the smallest schools a family is likely to encounter, with roughly 43 pupils on roll in the North West. As an independent, fee-paying school within the Lancashire local authority, it offers an intimate setting that contrasts sharply with the scale of larger mainstream secondaries. Entry is at age 11, and the school operates an 11+ admissions process. Its very small size suggests a setting suited to families seeking close individual attention rather than the breadth of a large institution.

Teaching & academics

The school's published headline results sit well below national benchmarks: its Attainment 8 score is 7.2 against a national average of 46.9, and no pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with a national figure of 47%. Figures of this kind from a school of just 43 pupils warrant a direct conversation with the school about its cohort, curriculum and how it measures progress. Parents would be wise to ask how these outcomes reflect the needs of the children it serves.

The last word

A notably small independent school whose published results fall far short of national averages. Families should look closely at the wider context before drawing conclusions.
