About Great Harwood Primary School

Great Harwood Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections, the latest of which took place in 2023. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 56 per cent. This places it just below the Lancashire local authority average of 60 per cent for the same measure. Within the Hyndburn local authority, the school ranks 15th out of 31 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate area. Nationally, it sits in the 67th percentile, meaning roughly a third of primary schools across England outperform it on this combined measure. The school’s individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: 74 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and 67 per cent did so in reading, while writing lagged slightly at 63 per cent. Higher-attaining pupils are relatively few, with 22 per cent reaching the higher standard in maths and 26 per cent in reading, and none achieving it in the combined measure.
