Lyndhurst Primary and Nursery School

About Lyndhurst Primary and Nursery School

Lyndhurst Primary and Nursery School sits in the bottom half of Oldham’s primary league table, ranked 57th out of 86 schools of its type. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 43%, a full 15 percentage points below the local authority average of 58%. That gap is significant and places the school in the bottom 50 nationally by this measure. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading scores are a relative bright spot: 75% of pupils hit the expected standard, and the average scaled score of 104 is solid. Maths tells a different story, with 63% reaching the expected standard and an average score of 103. Writing lags behind, with just 48% meeting expectations, and no pupils at all achieved the higher standard in either writing or the combined RWM measure. The school’s overall Ofsted rating remains Good, a grade it has held consistently across its two most recent inspections, the latest taking place in early 2025.
