Getting a place
The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

School overview
Turton and Edgworth CofE/Methodist Primary School is a primary school serving Bolton, Blackburn with Darwen, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England/Methodist religious character. It has 185 pupils aged 5 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 86% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 16.0 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 among the top 10% of primary schools in England.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 14% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 1.62 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 6% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Turton and Edgworth CofE/Methodist 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
