About St Margaret's Church of England Primary School
Parents considering St Margaret’s Church of England Primary School will find a school that is clearly valued by its community, though specific parent satisfaction data is not available in the most recent records. The school is oversubscribed, with a capacity of 210 pupils, indicating strong local demand for places. This suggests that families in Rochdale view the school positively, and securing a spot may require careful planning. The school is led by headteacher Nicole McShane and operates as a state-funded Church of England primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11. Its Good Ofsted rating, while not the highest available in the local authority—where seven out of 69 primary schools are rated Outstanding—still places it in a solid position. The nearest Outstanding-rated alternative, St Luke's Church of England Primary School, is 1.8 kilometres away, which may influence catchment-area decisions for families prioritising a top-tier inspection grade.
