Rowley Hall Primary School

About Rowley Hall Primary School

Rowley Hall Primary School was rated Requires Improvement in its most recent Ofsted inspection in July 2024, a rating it has now held across two consecutive inspections. The school’s overall effectiveness grade of 3 reflects a mixed picture beneath the headline: leadership and management, and the quality of education, both remain Requires Improvement, while behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision were all judged Good. For a primary school, the most telling academic metric is Key Stage 2 performance, and here the data is sobering. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths is 60 per cent; Rowley Hall’s own figure sits below that benchmark. Without a published Progress 8 score for primary, the KS2 attainment gap is the clearest signal that the school is still working to lift outcomes for its pupils. The previous inspection in November 2021 had already flagged similar weaknesses, so the 2024 judgement suggests that while some areas have improved, the core academic challenge remains.
