St Herbert's RC Primary School, a Voluntary Academy in Oldham, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections.

The school's Roman Catholic character is woven into its facilities, which include a chapel, and it offers nursery provision for the youngest children.
