About Oasis Academy Harpur Mount

Oasis Academy Harpur Mount is a primary school in Manchester that stands out for its academic performance, with 68% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That is a clear 11 percentage points above the Manchester local authority average of 57% for primary schools, placing the school 25th out of 122 primaries in the borough. The school is also heavily oversubscribed — for its 31 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 70 applications, all of which were first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.26. With 61.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a significantly disadvantaged community, yet its results suggest it is doing a strong job of closing the attainment gap compared with the wider LA picture.
