About Great Harwood St John's Church of England Primary School

Great Harwood St John's Church of England Primary School sits in the bottom half of Lancashire primary schools when it comes to the key stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths, with just 45% of pupils reaching that benchmark against a local authority average of 60%. That 15-point gap is significant and places the school 347th out of 480 primaries in the county. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single headline figure suggests. While only 5% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, individual subject results tell a different story: 80% of children met the expected standard in maths, well above the national average, and the average maths scaled score of 103 is solid. Reading and writing expected rates were lower at 45% and 65% respectively, which pulls the combined figure down. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, with early years provision judged Outstanding — a clear strength that feeds into later outcomes.
