About Holy Rosary RC Primary School, a Voluntary Academy

Holy Rosary RC Primary School sits in Oldham, a Roman Catholic voluntary academy for children aged 3 to 11. When you compare its headline metrics against the local authority average for primary schools, the picture is mixed. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 awarded an overall effectiveness rating of Good, which is a solid result but not at the level of the four Outstanding primaries in the borough. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment is 58, and while Holy Rosary’s exact KS2 scores are not provided in the data, the school’s Good rating suggests it is performing broadly in line with or slightly above this benchmark. What stands out is the school’s journey: its previous inspection in 2019 rated it Requires Improvement overall, with leadership and management also at that level. The 2022 inspection saw a clear upgrade to Good across all graded areas except early years provision, which remains Requires Improvement. This upward trajectory is a notable positive for families considering the school.
