About Oasis Academy Aspinal

Oasis Academy Aspinal holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its inspections. The school’s strongest academic indicator is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 72% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well above the Manchester local authority average of 57%, placing the school 18th out of 122 primary schools in the area and inside the top 50 nationally. In individual subjects, maths scores are particularly solid: pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104, with 79% reaching the expected standard and 14% working at a higher level. Reading scores are similarly strong, with an average of 105 and 21% of pupils hitting the higher standard. Writing lags a little behind, with only 7% reaching greater depth, though 83% did meet the expected level. The school’s overall ranking score of 72 puts it in the top 15% of Manchester primaries, a notable achievement given that 53.2% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals.
