St Thomas' Leesfield CofE Primary School
Oldham, OL4 5AT · Oldham · primary school
18th of 71 primary schools in Oldham we can score, 86 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 — 6.7/10 against 2,241 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023.
Getting in. There are 200 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 10 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 10 places remaining, how does the school manage waitlists if more applications arrive? Since the last inspection was in 2023, what changes have been made to the curriculum since then? How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths?
