About Oasis Academy Temple

Oasis Academy Temple holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2013, with an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirming the school remains Good. Leadership and management were singled out as Outstanding in that 2013 inspection. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 52% for the 2023/24 academic year. That figure is below the local authority average of 57% for Manchester, placing the school 81st out of 122 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, it ranks in the bottom quarter of schools on this measure. The school’s ranking score of 52 puts it in the bottom 50% of schools nationally, a clear signal that while the school is judged to be providing a good standard of education overall, academic outcomes in core subjects are an area of focus.
