Mixed Primary Church of England
5.5/10 Broadly average

14th of 55 primary schools in Rochdale we can score, 69 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 — 6.6/10 against 2,337 of them, against 5.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 67.0 · 57 62% 3.50
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 7.0 · 51 38% 1.96

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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.5 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 446 pupils in a school with 446 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage admissions when demand exceeds the 446 available places? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How does the curriculum prepare students for the transition to secondary school?
