Ofsted: Good · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Secondary
3.9/10 Broadly average

7th of 13 secondary schools in Oldham we can score, 14 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 — 4.8/10 against 487 of them, against 2.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
