Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
2.8/10 Below average

344th 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 the 2,075 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.5/10 among them, against 1.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

What Ofsted said about Slaidburn Brennands Endowed Primary School

Inspection report dated 13 January 2023

Overview

Slaidburn Brennands Endowed Primary School continues to be a good school, described by the community as having a "family feel" where pupils feel safe and welcome. Leaders maintain high expectations for behaviour and learning, resulting in a positive atmosphere where pupils take pride in their work and engage enthusiastically in a broad curriculum.

Strengths

  • Pupils enjoy school, behave well, and are "polite and respectful," with bullying concerns handled swiftly.
  • Teachers are knowledgeable, and assessment processes effectively address misconceptions, helping most pupils, including those with SEND, to achieve well.
  • Reading is central to the curriculum, supported by a consistent phonics programme and a wide range of books that foster a "real love of reading."
  • The early years curriculum provides "secure foundations," with children settling quickly into routines.
  • Leaders work effectively with parents and external agencies, and governors carry out their duties effectively.

Areas to improve

  • Leaders must ensure the curriculum for all subjects clearly defines the "different types of essential knowledge" pupils will learn from early years to Year 6.
  • This improvement is needed so that pupils build knowledge term by term and are "better prepared for secondary school," as some currently do not remember knowledge as well as they should in certain subjects.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff well-trained to keep pupils safe and concerns reported swiftly.
