St Oswald’s Church of England Primary Academy is currently rated as requiring improvement overall. The school demonstrates notable strengths in personal development and behaviour, with pupils exhibiting polite manners and a positive attitude towards learning. The school's Christian ethos fosters an inclusive community, with effective after-school clubs and support for attendance. However, the quality of education requires improvement, particularly in key stage 1 and 2, where the curriculum lacks clarity on essential knowledge and assessment methods do not effectively identify learning gaps, resulting in many pupils struggling to achieve expected standards by Year 6. This marks the school's first inspection post-COVID-19 pandemic.
