About Oasis Academy Broadoak

Oasis Academy Broadoak is a primary school in Tameside that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 65 applications for 49 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.33 applicants per place. Of those 65 applications, 45 were first-preference choices, and all 45 first-preference families were offered a spot. This suggests that while the school is popular, most families who put it as their top choice do get in. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2021, rated it Good across every category, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. That Good rating has been consistent since at least the previous inspection in 2013, giving parents a stable track record to consider. With 426 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is operating slightly above its official limit, which is another sign of local demand.

Academically, Oasis Academy Broadoak’s Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 paint a mixed picture. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 58%, which is just below the Tameside local authority average of 62%. In individual subjects, maths performed strongest, with 83% of pupils reaching the expected standard and an average scaled score of 104. Reading saw 66% at the expected standard, with an average score of 103, while writing had 75% at the expected level. At the higher standard, the school’s results were notably low: just 2% of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 19% in maths alone and 20% in reading. Nationally, the school ranks in the bottom half for its combined expected standard metric, sitting at the 62nd percentile. In Tameside, it ranks 38th out of 57 primary schools.

The school offers a practical range of facilities, including a sensory room, ICT suite, sports hall, playing fields, library, outdoor playground and a chapel. Sports provision includes dance, swimming, football, rounders and netball, while clubs extend to coding, book club, drama, art club and eco club. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists support for a wide range of SEND categories, including autistic spectrum disorder, speech, language and communication needs, and social, emotional and mental health difficulties. There is also nursery provision for children from age three. The school is non-religious in character, with no official sixth form. Given its oversubscription but high first-preference offer rate, it is a realistic option for local families who want a Good-rated primary with solid SEND support and a broad extracurricular offer, though those prioritising top-tier academic outcomes may want to look at higher-performing schools in the area.
