About Ss Aidan and Oswald's Roman Catholic Primary School

Ss Aidan and Oswald's Roman Catholic Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. In the 2023/24 academic year, 64% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with an Oldham average of 58% for primary schools. That six-point gap places the school 24th out of 67 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top half of local schools. Its ranking score of 64 also lands it within the top 50 nationally by this metric. The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 48 applications for 35 places, with 29 of those coming as first preferences. That level of demand suggests local families see it as a strong option. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in December 2024, confirmed that standards are being maintained, and its leadership and management were rated Outstanding in the previous graded inspection.
