Check the area around this school
48th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.2/10 against 408 of them, against 4.1/10 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 | 6 | 35% | 0.21 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Oasis Academy Broadoak
Overview
The report describes a school where leaders and staff create an inclusive environment, ensuring pupils feel safe, valued, and respected. While the early years provision and support for disadvantaged pupils are praised, the inspection identifies specific areas requiring attention in key stage 1 literacy, behaviour consistency, and attendance.
Strengths
- Early years leaders provide a "carefully designed" curriculum that supports children’s progress and builds confidence through "well-chosen songs, stories and rhymes."
- Staff effectively support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, using a "step-by-step approach" to help them become independent learners.
- Disadvantaged pupils in Year 6 have seen their attainment improve to "above average," gaining an "important head start in their education."
- Leaders foster a positive culture where staff wellbeing is supported, and "staff are happy."
- Pupils develop a strong understanding of diversity, equality, and British values, helping them become "responsible, respectful British citizens."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure staff sharpen their focus on securing pupils' core knowledge of spelling and handwriting in key stage 1.
- Leaders should ensure pupils consistently meet high expectations for behaviour through the personal development programme and wider staff support.
- Leaders need to reduce the rate of persistent absence so all pupils can fully benefit from the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an open culture where concerns are actively identified and managed, ensuring pupils are made safer and feel safe.
