Check the area around this school
12th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.9/10 against 2,001 of them, against 5.7/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Flowery Field Primary School
Overview
This ungraded inspection found that aspects of the school’s work “may not be as strong as at the time of the previous inspection,” triggering a future graded inspection. Despite this, pupils are described as happy in a “warm and nurturing school” with strong relationships and positive attitudes. The report highlights effective teaching in reading and mathematics, alongside a supportive environment for pupils with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Pupils have “strong relationships with staff” and feel “well supported” in a safe environment.
- There is a “strong curriculum in place for reading,” with pupils learning to read with “increasing fluency and independence.”
- Staff provide effective support for pupils with SEND, identifying needs early and offering suitable help.
- The school offers a “wealth of clubs” and roles, such as caring for farm animals, which develop pupils’ confidence.
- Teachers feel “valued” and appreciate the “positive working environment” provided by the school and trust.
Areas to improve
- Teachers must be supported to address “misconceptions in pupils’ learning” earlier to ensure secure foundations in subjects other than English and mathematics.
- The curriculum in non-core subjects must be revisited to give pupils “insufficient opportunities to recall and reinforce their previous learning,” ensuring they remember key knowledge.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
