About Friezland Primary School

Friezland Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the Oldham local authority average, which is a key point for parents to weigh up. In the 2023/24 academic year, 47% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 58%. That places the school 50th out of 67 primary schools in Oldham, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. Nationally, it ranks in the 83rd percentile, meaning roughly 17% of primary schools across England scored lower on this metric. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 87% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, well above the national average, while writing (67%) and maths (60%) were closer to typical levels. Only 7% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and the school’s overall ranking score of 47 reflects a performance that families should consider alongside the strong parent satisfaction data.
