Hapton Church of England/Methodist Primary School
Burnley, BB11 5RF · Lancashire · primary school
207th of 448 primary schools in Lancashire we can score, 481 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.2/10 against 2,600 of them, against 4.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Science Club, Board Games Club, Glee Club, or play football and netball. The school offers neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 116 pupils in a school with 130 places, leaving 14 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive late or leave early, given the lack of wraparound care? What specific steps are taken to raise the percentage of pupils reaching the higher standard in maths? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a pupil population that is close to capacity?
