About St Anne's CofE Lydgate Primary School

St Anne's CofE Lydgate Primary School is a Church of England primary in the Oldham local authority, and it ranks third out of 67 primary schools in the area. That puts it in the top five per cent of Oldham primaries, sitting just behind Christ Church CofE Primary School and St Martin's CofE Junior Infant and Nursery School, and ahead of Buckstones Primary School. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged four to eleven, with headteacher Russell Learmont at the helm. It's a relatively small school, with 208 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, and just 6.3 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals. In its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in June 2025, inspectors confirmed that standards were maintained, and the school retains its overall Good rating. The previous graded inspection in 2015 had already awarded Good across the board, including for leadership and management and early years provision, a clear improvement from the Requires Improvement rating it received in 2013.
