About Alexandra Park Junior School

If you are a parent researching Alexandra Park Junior School, the first signal to consider is that the school is oversubscribed, with 358 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360. This suggests that despite its challenges, local families are actively choosing it. However, the most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021 rated the school as Requires Improvement overall, a rating it has held since its previous inspection in 2017. The report highlights a mixed picture: behaviour and attitudes, as well as personal development, were both judged Good, while leadership and management and the quality of education both require improvement. There is no Parent View data available in the school's record, so you would need to speak directly to other parents or visit to gauge satisfaction. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 7 to 11, located in the Oldham borough, and does not have a religious character.
