Hollin Primary School
Manchester, M24 6JG · Rochdale · primary school
24th 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 — 5.1/10 against 2,044 of them, against 4.2/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Choir club and Eco Club, and participate in Hollin's Got Talent. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 331 pupils in a capacity of 330 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating over its stated capacity, how does the admissions process handle new requests? How does the curriculum support the 2.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard? What specific activities take place during the after-school club?
