Check the area around this school
52nd of 59 primary schools in Tameside we can score, 76 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,299 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0/10 among them, against 3.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 10 | 35% | 0.34 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Audenshaw Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The proportion reaching the higher standard was 0.0%, against a national median of 7%. An inspection in June 2026 used the new report-card framework, which grades areas separately without an overall grade. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0 out of 10 among them, against 3.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join cheerleading, CAD design, and 3D printing clubs, or participate in football, ball skills, tennis, and multi-sports. An after-school club is also available.

What Ofsted said about Audenshaw Primary School
Overview
Audenshaw Primary School is described as a place where pupils feel valued, supported, and proud to belong. The report highlights a positive culture with high expectations for all students, resulting in strong attendance, respectful behaviour, and effective support for those with special educational needs or disabilities.
Strengths
- Early years provision is praised, with children quickly mastering pencil grip, letter formation, and phonics, leading to reading outcomes "consistently above national averages."
- Attendance is "above the national averages for all groups," supported by leaders who "routinely analyse data" and work closely with families and agencies to remove barriers.
- Behaviour is managed fairly and consistently; classrooms are "calm and purposeful," with disruptions being rare and bullying concerns addressed "quickly and decisively."
- Inclusion is effective, with leaders ensuring support is "carefully matched to individual circumstances" so that disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND "thrive and achieve well."
- Personal development is robust, with pupils demonstrating a "deep understanding of online risks" and a strong sense of citizenship through roles like the school council.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should "sustain their work to further refine the design of the writing curriculum" to ensure pupils achieve consistently highly over time.
- Staff should be supported to "refine teaching approaches and their use of resources" so that pupils build a "deep body of subject knowledge across the curriculum," as occasional teaching choices currently limit learning depth.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns actively identified and managed.
