About Alice Ingham Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Academy
Alice Ingham Catholic Primary School in Rochdale received a Good rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in March 2024, a significant improvement from the Requires Improvement judgement it had been given just two years earlier. The school was rated Good across all five key categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. On the most telling exam metric for a primary school, 50% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the local authority average of 58% for Rochdale and places the school 39th out of 52 similar schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of local primaries. Nationally, it ranks in the 80th percentile, meaning roughly one in five schools nationally scored lower on this combined measure.
