St. Paul's CofE Primary School
About St. Paul's CofE Primary School
St. Paul's CofE Primary School in Oldham holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2019, a clear step up from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2017. The school improved across every measured category, with leadership and management, quality of education, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes all now rated Good. Early years provision also moved from Requires Improvement to Good. This upward trajectory is the most telling academic story here, though the school's Key Stage 2 data is not available in this profile. What we can see is that the local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 58, and St. Paul's sits within a local context where only four out of 86 primary schools in Oldham have achieved an Outstanding rating. The nearest Outstanding school is Westwood Academy, 2.2 km away, which gives a sense of the competitive landscape for families prioritising the top Ofsted grade.
