About Rosehill Methodist Primary Academy

Rosehill Methodist Primary Academy was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its 2015 and 2023 graded inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year, where just 37% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well below the Tameside local authority average of 62% and places the school 55th out of 57 primary schools in the borough, in the bottom 50% nationally. Broken down by subject, the strongest result was in writing, where 67% of pupils reached the expected level, compared with 57% in reading and 51% in maths. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in all three subjects was just 2%, though average scaled scores in reading (102) and maths (101) were close to the national benchmark of 100.
