One of Oldham’s biggest primary schools has lost its ‘Outstanding’ rating after Ofsted found that ‘many older pupils struggle to read’. Staff at Oasis Academy Limeside said they were ‘incredibly disappointed’ at the overall judgement, which they felt was ‘not reflective of the many positive changes’ made by the school’s new leadership team.
Principal Lauren Norris said: “I have absolute confidence that we are heading in the right direction despite the grading.“We will continue to work closely with our wonderful children and their families placing exceptional education at the heart of our community. Our school is much more than just an Ofsted grading and I am incredibly proud of our brilliant children, parents and staff.”
In the report, inspector Claire Cropper noted that the school, which caters for more than 450 children, was already making changes to address problems with the curriculum. But she felt “pupils are not as well prepared as they should be for the next stages of their education”. And added: “Teachers and other staff are addressing gaps in these pupils’ reading knowledge quickly. As a result, pupils in key stage 2 are building up their reading knowledge slowly, but steadily.”
