About Accrington Hyndburn Park Primary School

Accrington Hyndburn Park Primary School is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary school in Hyndburn, Lancashire, catering for children aged 3 to 11. With 448 pupils on roll against a capacity of 530, the school is not yet at full capacity, but demand is clearly strong: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 130 total applications for just 59 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.2 to one. Of those, 56 first-preference families were offered a place, meaning that securing a spot here is competitive. The school serves a community with a notably high level of socio-economic disadvantage — 29.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23% for primary schools. This context makes the school’s performance all the more significant, and it’s a factor that will matter to parents weighing up how well a school supports children from all backgrounds.
