Littleborough Community Primary School
Littleborough, OL15 9HW · Rochdale · primary school
9th 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 — 6.9/10 against 2,927 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 62% | 4.02 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
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 8.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Science Club, Digital Leaders, and the Brass Band. Sports include football, netball, and archery, while the arts offer musical theatre and choir. The school runs an after-school club but does not provide a breakfast club.
Getting in. With 313 pupils in a school with 465 places, there are 152 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the higher standard? What specific activities are available in the after-school club? How do teachers manage class sizes given the significant spare capacity?
