Hollins Grundy Primary School
Bury, BL9 8AY · Bury · primary school
13th of 55 primary schools in Bury we can score, 64 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 — 6.9/10 against 3,926 of them, against 6.6/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (6.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join a chess club and participate in football, netball, cross country, dance, mini sports, and team games. The school does not offer a breakfast club or an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 211 pupils in a school with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when there is no spare capacity? What support is available for pupils who need help with their reading or writing outside of core lessons? How do parents arrange supervision for children who finish school early or need care before the day begins?
