A school in Oldham has turned things around after a tremendous effort by school staff.

A primary school in Oldham has turned itself around after it was first told by Ofsted that teaching was ‘not good enough’ and kids’ attainments were ‘hampered’ by a poor curriculum almost seven years ago. St Hilda’s CofE Primary has seen a ‘shift’ and ‘improved’ outcomes for pupils, a report published this month found.

The three to 11-year-old pupils at the school in Coldhurst now feel “proud to be part of the school’s community” and are ‘happy’, ‘settled’ and ‘ambitious’.The report noted: “This shift has improved pupils’ own aspirations for their achievement and for their future lives. For example, pupils aspire to become teachers, surgeons, scientists and police officers.”

Ofsted also praised the ‘variety of rich experiences’ available to pupils - from musical concerts to visits to the local council chambers. The school also has a ‘well-stocked library’ and uses reading challenges and reading rewards to nudge pupils into reading widely.
