About Pinfold Primary School

Pinfold Primary School’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management judged Outstanding. That puts it in a strong position locally: of the 76 primary schools in Tameside, only one holds an Outstanding rating, so Pinfold’s Good grade with an Outstanding leadership tag is a notable achievement. The school’s previous inspection, back in 2007, had awarded it Outstanding across the board, so the 2023 ungraded inspection confirmed it remains a Good school rather than slipping. For parents comparing headline metrics, the key local benchmark is the LA average for Key Stage 2 attainment, which sits at 62. Pinfold’s own KS2 results aren’t published in this data, but the school’s sustained Good rating and Outstanding leadership suggest it is performing at least in line with, and possibly above, that average. The school also offers nursery provision from age three, which is a practical advantage for families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
