About Greenside Primary School

Greenside Primary School sits within the Tameside local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11. In the most recent local rankings, it placed 45th out of 76 same-type schools in the borough, placing it in the bottom half of Tameside primaries. The top-performing peers in the area include Broadbottom Church of England Primary School, St Raphael's Catholic Primary School, and St John's CofE Primary School in Dukinfield, all of which scored higher on the same ranking metric. Greenside’s own ranking score of 53 places it well below those local leaders, and the school falls into the bottom 50% nationally. It is, however, a school that serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: 35.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure notably higher than the national average. The school is led by headteacher Alison Curtis and, as of its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, holds a Good rating across all categories.
