SS Osmund and Andrew's R.C. Primary School
Bolton, BL2 6NW · Bolton · primary school
53rd of 88 primary schools in Bolton we can score, 97 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 — 5.3/10 against 2,429 of them, against 4.5/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the School Council, Caritas Ambassadors, and Environment Champions. They play rounders, cricket, and football, while others take part in choir, yoga, and guitar lessons. Cookery and Book Club are also available. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 382 pupils in a capacity of 446 places, leaving 64 spare spots. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading, given the gap between the school’s results and the national median? What are the options for supervision before 8:30 am or after 3:30 pm, since there is no breakfast or after-school club? How does the School Council involve pupils in decision-making?
