About St Nicholas Church of England Primary School

St Nicholas Church of England Primary School in Hyndburn was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment: 53% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 results. That figure sits below the Lancashire local authority average of 60%, placing the school 17th out of 31 primary schools in Hyndburn and in the bottom half nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In writing, 80% of pupils met the expected standard, and in maths 70% did, while reading stood at 67%. At the higher standard, just 3% achieved the combined measure, though 10% reached higher in each of maths, reading and writing individually. The school’s average scaled scores were 103 in reading and 102 in maths, both close to the national benchmark of 100.
