Coppice Primary Academy
Oldham, OL8 1AP · Oldham · primary school
34th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.7/10 against 2,417 of them, against 3.3/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2024. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils play football and take a London residential visit in Year 6. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 537 pupils in a building with 490 places, meaning it is over capacity by 47. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 47 more pupils than its stated capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? How does the school plan to extend learning for the 3.0% who reach the higher standard?
