About East Crompton St James CofE Primary School

East Crompton St James CofE Primary School is a primary school in Oldham, Oldham, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England religious character. Around 184 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 52% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%.

On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 40% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. East Crompton St James CofE 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 further down the page.
