St Peter's Roman Catholic Primary School, Rochdale
Manchester, M24 1FL · Rochdale · primary school
25th 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 the 4,309 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6/10 among them, against 4.6/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 62% | 2.26 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 38% | 2.36 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Getting in. The school has 213 pupils in a facility with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 3. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who are working towards the expected standard in core subjects?
