Lancaster Schools Excel Beyond National Standards

Share article

As property specialists in Lancaster, we understand that school catchment areas significantly influence families’ home-buying decisions. The latest government figures reveal an impressive educational landscape across our district, with several schools substantially outperforming both regional and national averages.

Leading the pack is Dolphinholme Church of England Primary School, where a remarkable 93% of pupils met government standards in core subjects – significantly exceeding the national average of 61%. This exemplary performance is mirrored across various schools throughout the district, from village establishments to larger urban institutions.

What’s particularly encouraging is the geographic spread of excellence. From Wray with Botton Endowed Primary School in the east to Heysham St Peter’s in the west, high-performing schools can be found throughout the district. This widespread educational quality makes Lancaster an attractive proposition for families considering relocation.

The diversity of our top-performing schools is noteworthy. Whether families prefer the intimate learning environment of smaller village schools like Nether Kellet Community Primary (83% achievement rate) or larger urban establishments like Moorside Primary School (74% achievement rate), excellence in education is accessible across various settings.

At Lancastrian Estates, we’ve observed that properties within the catchment areas of these high-performing schools often command particular interest from buyers. The presence of these excellent educational institutions not only enhances community value but also contributes to stable property prices in their respective areas.

For families considering a move to Lancaster, this educational landscape offers reassurance that their children’s academic needs will be well-served, regardless of which part of our beautiful district they choose to call home.
