About Rushcroft Primary School
Rushcroft Primary School is a primary school in Oldham, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 169 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 80% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 4.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 44% of primary schools nationally.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 109 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Rushcroft Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 22 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.9%. Rushcroft Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
