About Oswaldtwistle Moor End Primary School

Oswaldtwistle Moor End Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s strongest academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined, where 63% of pupils met the expected standard in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school above the Lancashire local authority average of 60% for the same measure. In the Hyndburn area, the school ranks 7th out of 31 primary schools on this metric, putting it in the top quarter locally. Nationally, it sits around the middle of the pack, ranking 6,619th out of 13,686 schools. The school’s average scores in reading and maths both sit at 107, which is above the national benchmark of 100, though the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in these subjects is relatively modest at 30% for reading and 19% for maths.
