Haslingden Primary School
About Haslingden Primary School
Haslingden Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 107 applications for just 55 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 95. Of those 107 applicants, 52 listed the school as their first preference, and all 52 were offered a place. This level of demand suggests the school has a strong reputation in the Rossendale area. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character. It currently has 381 pupils on roll, against a capacity of 420, so there is some room for growth. The headteacher is Glyn Ellis. In its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in May 2024, the school was judged to remain Good, a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2014.
