About Greenacres Primary Academy
Greenacres Primary Academy in Oldham has turned a corner academically, earning a Good rating from Ofsted in its most recent 2022 inspection after being judged Requires Improvement in 2017. The school’s improvement is most clearly seen in its Key Stage 2 results: 64% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits above the Oldham local authority average of 58%, placing Greenacres 25th out of 67 primary schools in the borough and in the top half nationally. The school’s maths scores are a particular strength, with an average scaled score of 104 and 82% of pupils reaching the expected level, compared with 70% in reading and 73% in writing. While no pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, 15% did so in maths alone, and 9% reached that level in both reading and writing.
