St Mary's RC Primary School, a Voluntary Academy

Primary school in Manchester, Oldham. School remains Good (Improving) - S5 Next (Dec 2023).

Latest inspection: ungraded

Inspected 7 December 2023, report published 29 January 2024.

This inspection was given to St Mary's RC Primary School (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. St Mary's RC Primary School, a Voluntary Academy hasn’t been inspected under its own name yet, so Ofsted’s page for it shows no grade.

School remains Good (Improving) - S5 Next

An ungraded inspection is a shorter visit to check that a school is still at the grade it was given at its last full inspection. It doesn’t award a new grade. “S5 Next” means inspectors decided the next visit should be a full graded inspection. The full inspection it refers to was before September 2019, so it isn’t in Ofsted’s current data. More about ungraded inspections.

Next inspection: around December 2027

The last inspection was in December 2023. Schools are usually inspected about every four years.

An estimate, not an Ofsted date. Ofsted doesn’t publish its schedule and gives schools about a day’s notice. The law says the next inspection must be by August 2029 at the latest, and Ofsted can visit sooner if it has concerns.
