Check the area around this school
59th 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 — 0.4/10 against 1,680 of them, against 0.7/10 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 | 33.0 · 4 | 62% | 0.26 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Oakfield Primary and Moderate Learning Difficulties Resource Provision
Overview
Pupils are described as "happy and safe," benefiting from "warm relationships" and strong early years provision. However, the quality of education requires improvement because the curriculum in most subjects lacks clarity, leaving pupils with "gaps in their knowledge" and making it difficult for them to retain learning over time.
Strengths
- Early years provision is "Good," with a curriculum carefully designed to follow children’s interests and support language development.
- Behaviour and attitudes are "Good"; bullying is "rare," and staff deal with incidents "swiftly."
- Personal development is "Good," with pupils showing "genuine care towards others" and a strong understanding of respect for differences.
- Reading is prioritised effectively; staff have a "secure understanding" of phonics and skilfully support those who find reading difficult.
- Leadership and management are "Good," with the trust providing effective support for professional development and staff well-being.
Areas to improve
- The school must identify the "most important knowledge" across the wider curriculum so pupils can deepen their understanding.
- Staff need to develop the "secure subject knowledge" required to teach the wider curriculum effectively and break learning into clear steps.
- The school should improve checks to ensure curriculum delivery meets expectations and that learning activities help pupils build knowledge securely.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
