About St Vincent's Roman Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy
St Vincent's Roman Catholic Primary School in Rochdale received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in September 2023, a downgrade from the Good rating it had held in its previous inspection a decade earlier. The inspection report highlighted that the quality of education and leadership and management both require improvement, while behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision were all judged to be Good. For parents focused on academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the school's Key Stage 2 performance. The local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 58, meaning roughly 58% of pupils across Rochdale primary schools meet the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. Without St Vincent's own published KS2 data, it is difficult to say exactly how the school compares, but the Ofsted judgement on education quality suggests there is work to be done in bringing results up to the local benchmark.
