About Arlies Primary School

Arlies Primary School sits within Tameside local authority, where it ranks 46th out of 57 primary schools based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. That places it in the bottom half of schools locally, though it's worth noting that Tameside has only one primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted overall. The top-performing peers in the area are Broadbottom Church of England Primary School, St Raphael's Catholic Primary School and St John's CofE Primary School, Dukinfield, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Arlies is a state-funded, mixed primary school for children aged 3 to 11, with no religious character. It has a nursery provision and is led by headteacher Lucy Hughes. The school is noticeably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 24 applications for 13 places, with all 13 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.85.
