St Mary's CofE Primary School High Crompton
About St Mary's CofE Primary School High Crompton
St Mary’s CofE Primary School High Crompton is a Church of England state primary in Oldham, and its Key Stage 2 results put it well ahead of the local authority average. In the 2023/24 academic year, 82% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of just 58% for primary schools. That’s a gap of 24 percentage points, and it places the school 5th out of 67 primaries in Oldham, comfortably inside the top 10% of schools in the borough. The school also performs strongly at the higher standard: 14% of pupils achieved that top tier across all three subjects, while 43% hit it in maths alone. Reading and maths average scores both sit at 107, above the national benchmark of 100. For a relatively small school of 211 pupils, these are punchy results that suggest consistent, effective teaching across the core subjects.
