Haslingden Broadway Primary School
About Haslingden Broadway Primary School
Haslingden Broadway Primary School sits in the middle of the pack when compared with other primary schools in Lancashire. Its key stage 2 results show 57% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, which is just three percentage points below the local authority average of 60%. That’s a narrow gap, and it places the school 273rd out of 480 primaries in the county. In Rossendale specifically, it ranks 17th out of 31 schools. The school is oversubscribed by a considerable margin — 142 applications for 30 places in 2025/26, with 28 first-preference offers from 30 first-preference applications — which suggests it holds a strong local reputation despite its middling league table position. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in January 2025, rated the school Good overall, with an Outstanding mark for early years provision. That’s a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2014, but the current judgement still puts it ahead of many local schools.
