About Hapton Church of England/Methodist Primary School

Hapton Church of England/Methodist 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 the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 42%. This figure is notably below the Lancashire local authority average of 60%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools within the borough of Burnley, where it ranks 22nd out of 28. The school’s national percentile for this measure is 89th, meaning it sits among the lower-performing schools in the country. However, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: 79% of pupils met the expected standard in both reading and maths, with average scores of 105 and 103 respectively, while writing was a weaker point at 53% expected. Just 5% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.
