About Bacup St Saviour's Community Primary School

Bacup St Saviour's Community Primary School sits in a challenging position compared with the Lancashire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 60%, this school achieves just 43%. That gap of 17 percentage points places it 356th out of 480 primary schools in the county, firmly in the bottom half. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 71% of pupils meet the expected standard in writing, which is a solid result, but maths lags at 57% and reading at 64%. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 7%, which is low. These figures suggest a school where outcomes are inconsistent across the curriculum, and where the headline combined measure is significantly below what most Lancashire primaries manage.
