Check the area around this school
56th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.2/10 against 1,192 of them, against 1.9/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| Ofsted | 8 | 35% | 0.27 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The report highlights "rapid improvement" since the last inspection, with leaders taking "decisive action" to address previous weaknesses in curriculum and wellbeing. While current pupils are benefiting from these changes, historic gaps in achievement and attendance remain significant challenges.

- Leaders have established high expectations for behaviour, with pupils understanding rules and dealing with bullying "effectively."
- The early years curriculum is effective, with staff using "precise checks" to plan next steps and prioritising language development.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure disadvantaged pupils and those with gaps in foundational knowledge receive support to improve achievement in national assessments.

- Leaders should continue actions to reduce absence levels, particularly for pupils who are persistently absent.
