About Sandbrook Community Primary School

Sandbrook Community Primary School sits within the Rochdale local authority, a borough with 69 primary schools where only seven hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. Among its peers, Sandbrook ranks 33rd out of 52 schools in the LA when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — placing it in the bottom half locally. The top-performing nearby schools include All Souls Church of England Primary School (just three kilometres away and rated Outstanding), Hollin Primary School and Healey Foundation Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same metric. Sandbrook is a larger-than-average state primary, with 598 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630, and it serves a community with high levels of disadvantage: 57.6 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals. The school is led by headteacher Sarah Brereton and provides nursery provision for children from age three, though it has no sixth form.
