Turton Belmont Community Primary School
Bolton, BL7 8AH · Blackburn with Darwen · primary school
2nd of 51 primary schools in Blackburn with Darwen we can score, 56 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 10.0/10 against 1,721 of them, against 10.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 100.0 · 100 | 40% | 3.99 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 36.0 · 99 | 25% | 2.49 |
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, 100.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 36.0% achieved the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (10.0 out of 10 either way).
Getting in. The school has 91 pupils in a capacity of 98 places, leaving 7 spare spots. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 7 places remaining, how does the school manage waiting lists for new starters? Since the last inspection was in 2024, what specific improvements have been made to the curriculum since then? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects?
