About Greenfield Primary School

Greenfield Primary School in Oldham was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in November 2024, a step down from the Outstanding it had held since its previous graded inspection in 2014. The school now receives Good marks across all five categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The most telling academic metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 63%. That is five percentage points above the Oldham local authority average of 58%, placing Greenfield 26th out of 67 primary schools in the borough and in the top half nationally. The school also performs well on individual subjects: 87% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 77% in maths and 70% in writing. Average scaled scores of 107 in reading and 105 in maths are both above the national benchmark of 100.
