About Christ Church CofE Primary School

Christ Church CofE Primary School in Oldham holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined: 93% of pupils met the expected standard in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with a local authority average of just 58%. That puts the school first out of 67 primary schools in Oldham, and in the top 1% nationally. The school also excels at the higher standard, with 23% of pupils reaching that level across all three subjects. In reading and maths individually, the average scaled scores were both 110, and 53% of pupils achieved the higher standard in each. Writing saw 25% reach the higher threshold. These results are particularly striking given that a quarter of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure above the national average.
