About Royton Hall Primary School

Royton Hall Primary School sits right on the Oldham local authority average for the key stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, with 58% of pupils meeting that benchmark. That places it 34th out of 67 primary schools in the borough, squarely in the middle of the pack. The school’s maths scores are a clear strength: 76% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths, and the average scaled score of 104 is solid. Reading and writing both sit at 73% for the expected standard, which is a touch behind maths but still respectable. Where the school falls short is at the higher standard — just 4% of pupils achieved the higher combined benchmark, compared with 20% in maths alone and 13% in reading. So while Royton Hall is reliably delivering a decent baseline for most children, it isn’t pushing many into the top tier of attainment.
