About Oasis Academy Clarksfield

Oasis Academy Clarksfield has turned a significant corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good overall, a marked improvement from its previous inspection in 2017 when it was judged Inadequate. This turnaround is reflected across the board, with Good ratings for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 44% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the Oldham local authority average of 58%, and places the school 52nd out of 67 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half locally and the bottom 50% nationally. It is a school still on an upward trajectory, but the academic outcomes data shows there is work to do to bring results in line with its peers.
