Christ Church CofE Primary School
Oldham, OL3 5RY · Oldham · primary school
48th of 71 primary schools in Oldham we can score, 86 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 3,977 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9/10 among them, against 4.4/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.62 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. However, 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in June 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9 out of 10 among them, against 4.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club for wraparound care.
Getting in. There are 47 pupils in a school with 105 places, leaving 58 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to move from the expected standard to the higher standard? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How do the small class sizes impact individual teaching time?
