Rochdale, OL11 1LT · Rochdale · primary school
16th of 55 primary schools in Rochdale we can score, 69 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 — 6.5/10 against 1,879 of them, against 5.3/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| 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, 71.0% 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. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2025.
Getting in. The school has 451 pupils in a building with 432 places, meaning it is over capacity by 19. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 19 more pupils than its official capacity allows? What specific support is available for the 3.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard? How does the recent 2025 inspection impact current teaching strategies?
