About Heasandford Primary School

Heasandford Primary School’s headline metrics sit below the Lancashire local authority average for Key Stage 2, which stands at 60 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Heasandford, that figure is 49 per cent, placing the school 19th out of 28 primary schools in Burnley and in the bottom half nationally. The gap is notable, but the school’s progress scores are not available in the data, so it is hard to say whether pupils arrive behind and catch up or whether attainment reflects a broader challenge. What is clear is that the school is large and oversubscribed: with 632 pupils against a capacity of 630, and 180 applications for 88 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, demand far outstrips supply. That level of local interest suggests families see something valuable here beyond the raw headline numbers.
