About Rosewood Primary School

Rosewood Primary School in Burnley was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school's most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 37% of pupils met the benchmark. This places the school significantly below the Lancashire local authority average of 60% and ranks it 25th out of 28 primary schools in Burnley. In the North West region, it sits in the bottom 50% of schools nationally. The school's average scores in reading and maths both sit at 101, exactly the national average, but the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in these subjects is low, with just 5% achieving the higher standard across all three core subjects.
