About Beever Primary School

Beever Primary School in Oldham was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. The inspection awarded Good across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. However, the school’s academic outcomes tell a more challenging story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 25% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Oldham local authority average of 58%. The school ranks 67th out of 67 primary schools in the borough on this metric, placing it in the bottom 50% nationally. Individual subject scores show 54% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading and writing, and 46% in maths, while only 4% achieved the higher standard in reading or maths, and none did so in writing.
