Queen Elizabeth's Primary School

School overview

Queen Elizabeth's Primary School is a primary school serving Blackburn with Darwen, classified by the DfE as a free school. It has 381 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 45% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That is down 20.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 102 in reading and 100 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 2% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Queen Elizabeth's Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 39 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 6.9%. There are about 20.1 pupils per teacher. Queen Elizabeth's Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
