About Micklehurst All Saints CofE Primary School

Micklehurst All Saints CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Tameside, a local authority where just one of 76 primary schools currently holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school sits 41st out of 57 primaries in the LA on its key stage 2 results, placing it in the bottom half of the borough. For context, the top-performing local peers 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 score higher on the same ranking metric. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Millbrook Primary School, about two kilometres away. Micklehurst itself has been rated Good at its most recent graded inspection and, following an ungraded visit in 2023, was confirmed to have maintained that standard. Headteacher Laura Trelfa leads a mixed-gender school of 214 pupils, with capacity for 240, and the school offers nursery provision for children from age three.

Academically, the school's key stage 2 results for 2023/24 show 55% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is below the Tameside LA average of 62%. In individual subjects, 64% met the expected standard in reading, 59% in writing, and 68% in maths. At the higher standard, 14% achieved the top level across all three subjects, with 27% reaching that level in reading, 18% in maths, and 18% in writing. Average scaled scores were 105 in both reading and maths. The school's national ranking places it in the bottom 50% of primary schools on the combined expected standard metric, at the 68th percentile nationally and the 65th percentile in the North West region. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how pupils' progress compares with similar pupils nationally.

The school offers a range of facilities including an ICT suite, playing fields, art studios, music rooms and a chapel. Sports on offer include tennis, athletics, netball and gymnastics, and clubs include science, gardening, book club, coding and chess. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social emotional and mental health needs, speech language and communication needs, multi-sensory impairment, and autistic spectrum disorder. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed: 25 applications were received for 17 places, with 17 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.47. This suggests a school that is popular locally but not prohibitively difficult to get into for families who live nearby and make it their first choice.
