Corpus Christi RC Primary School, a Voluntary Academy
About Corpus Christi RC Primary School, a Voluntary Academy
Corpus Christi RC Primary School stands out in Oldham for its Ofsted rating — it is one of just four primary schools in the local authority to hold an Outstanding grade, out of 86 state primaries. That alone puts it in a very small group. But the school’s academic performance, based on the most recent Key Stage 2 data, tells a slightly more complicated story. The local authority average for KS2 attainment is 58, and while Corpus Christi’s exact score is not available in the data, its Outstanding rating suggests strong teaching and leadership. The school is a Roman Catholic voluntary academy, which may appeal to families seeking a faith-based education, but it is open to all. Its headteacher, Helen Williamson, leads a school with capacity for 280 pupils and nursery provision from age three.
