Mills Hill Primary School
Oldham, OL9 0NH · Oldham · primary school
47th of 71 primary schools in Oldham we can score, 86 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 the 3,891 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 4.3/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 9 | 35% | 0.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 65.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8 out of 10 among them, against 4.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join clubs for board games, chess, musical theatre, choir, languages, Lego, handicrafts, and stargazing, alongside netball, football, and tennis. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 604 pupils in a capacity of 656, leaving 52 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need help with reading or maths given the 3.0% higher standard figure? What options exist for parents who need care before 8:30 am or after 3:30 pm, since there is no breakfast or after-school club? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a pupil population close to capacity?
