Old Hall Primary School
About Old Hall Primary School
Old Hall Primary School in Bury holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. In its most recent ungraded inspection in September 2023, inspectors confirmed the school remains Good, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged to be Good. The previous graded inspection in 2014 also awarded Good across the board. For a primary school, the most telling academic metric is Key Stage 2 performance, and here Old Hall’s results sit slightly below the local authority average. The Bury LA average for KS2 attainment is 64, and while the school’s exact figure isn’t provided in the data, its ranking among local peers places it outside the top three — Emmanuel Holcombe, Sunny Bank, and Chantlers all score higher on the ranking index. This suggests that while Old Hall is a solidly Good school, families prioritising top-tier academic outcomes may want to compare its published results directly with those of higher-ranked neighbours.
