Lyndhurst Primary and Nursery School

School overview

Lyndhurst Primary and Nursery School is a primary school serving Oldham, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. It has 460 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 43% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). Performance is little changed year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Lyndhurst Primary and Nursery School is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 60 first choices for 57 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 0.36 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 6.4%. There are about 25.6 pupils per teacher. Lyndhurst Primary and Nursery 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.
