About Whittaker Moss Primary School

Whittaker Moss Primary School sits comfortably above the local average for its key stage 2 results, a clear standout in the Rochdale area. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths sits at 58%, Whittaker Moss achieves 76% — a full 18 percentage points higher. That places the school 5th out of 52 primary schools in Rochdale, putting it in the top 10% locally and the top 25% nationally. It’s a strong performance that suggests solid, consistent teaching across the core subjects. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all judged Good. That’s a notable shift from its previous inspection in 2008, when it was rated Outstanding, but the current rating still reflects a school that is performing well above the typical local benchmark.
