About Stanley Road Primary School

Stanley Road Primary School sits comfortably above the Oldham local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 70% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 58%. That twelve-point gap places the school 13th out of 86 primary schools in the borough, and 12th when ranked specifically among its 67 mainstream peers — a strong showing that puts it in the top 20% locally. The school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in a graded inspection in January 2024, is consistent across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision all received a Good. This is a school that has held a Good rating across both its most recent inspections, with the previous one in 2013 also recording Good for overall effectiveness and leadership. For families in Oldham, Stanley Road represents a reliably above-average option within a short walk of an Outstanding-rated alternative, Corpus Christi RC Primary School, just 0.1 km away.
