Oftsed inspections may have been suspended until 2021 due to the coronavirus crisis but that doesn't mean choosing the right primary school for your child can be put on hold; especially with the deadline for 2021 applications closing in January.

So with that in mind, we've put together a comprehensive list of all the current Ofsted ratings for primary schools in Pendle, Rossendale and the Ribble Valley.

No primary schools within Pendle, Rossendale or the Ribble Valley were rated as Inadequate.

On March 17, Ofsted temporarily suspended its routine inspections of schools, colleges, early years settings, children’s social care providers and local authorities to reduce the burden on staff who were providing vital services to the nation in response to coronavirus.

Routine inspections are due to re-commence in 2021, although no official date has been announced.
