About Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy

Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Primary School in Rochdale has a current Ofsted rating of Good, which is a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2017. This places the school in a solid position locally, though it is worth noting that only seven out of 69 primary schools in the Rochdale local authority are rated Outstanding. The nearest Outstanding school is Kentmere Primary Academy, 2.4 km away. The school’s local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment is 58, and while Sacred Heart’s own KS2 data is not provided in this dataset, its Good rating suggests it is performing at a level that meets or exceeds expectations for its type. The school’s leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, were both rated Good in the most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed the school remains Good.
