Broad Oak Primary School
Manchester, M20 5QB · Manchester · primary school
32nd of 123 primary schools in Manchester we can score, 137 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.4/10 against 2,302 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 74.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.2 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024.
Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club for wraparound care.
Getting in. There are 266 pupils in a school with 280 places, leaving 14 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 14 places remaining, how quickly do these spots usually fill up at the start of the year? Since the higher standard was reached by only 5.0% of pupils, what specific support is available for children who are ready for more challenging work? How does the breakfast club operate on days when the school is at full capacity?
