Area judgements

New inspection format: no single overall grade.

Latest visit (Apr 2025): no overall grade — leadership and management inadequate; quality of education and behaviour and attitudes require improvement; personal development and early years good. See the full Ofsted report.

This page shows previous graded and latest ungraded outcomes when Ofsted publishes them in the national file. Full history stays on the Ofsted report.

School figures

Coloured bars compare this school with the average for other schools in M24. Where we have them, council (Rochdale) and England figures appear under FSM, SEN and attendance. FSM, SEN and EAL are context, not quality scores. For attendance, higher is usually better.
