Ofsted inspections
Shown exactly as Ofsted published them, each with its own date. This school has a new report card and an older inspection: Ofsted says “the new grades can’t be compared to the old ones”.
Report card · 18 Nov 2025
This inspection was of a predecessor school (Turton and Edgworth CofE/Methodist Controlled Primary School), before it reopened under its current reference number. Ofsted says grades of a predecessor school can’t, in law, transfer to the new one.

Report card grades run from Exceptional to Urgent improvement (five steps, left to right). Ofsted says “expected standard” means the school is doing everything it should — “It’s a high standard”. What the grades mean.
S5 Inspection · report published 27 Jan 2026
Ungraded inspection · 6 Mar 2024
This inspection was of a predecessor school (Turton and Edgworth CofE/Methodist Controlled Primary School), before it reopened under its current reference number. Ofsted says grades of a predecessor school can’t, in law, transfer to the new one.
Outcome: School remains Good (Improving) - S5 Next. An ungraded inspection checks whether a school is still at the standard of its last graded inspection; it doesn’t give new grades.

Results
No results for this school are in the performance tables we use. Results are published for schools with pupils at the end of Year 6, Year 11 or 16 to 18 study, and figures are hidden when very few pupils are involved.

Admissions
For a place at the usual starting age you apply through your home council (where you live), even if the school is in another area — not to the school. You can usually name several schools in order of preference.
