About St. Paul's Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy
St. Paul's Catholic Primary School in Tameside doesn't have published KS2 SATs results in the data, so we can't directly compare its headline academic metrics against the local authority average of 62. What we do know is that the school is oversubscribed: for its 26 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 49 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.88. All 25 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests strong local demand. The school is one of 76 primary schools in Tameside, and only one of those holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating. St. Paul's itself was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2017, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Good. That's a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2015, when it was rated Requires Improvement.
