Places and pupil numbers
In 2024–25 Greenmount Primary School had 235 pupils for 245 places. 10 places (4.1%) were unfilled.
Reception intake in the “Ramsbottom Tottington and North Manor Primary” planning area
Bury counted 302 Reception pupils in this area in 2024–25 and forecasts 295 in 2029–30, down 2%.
Admissions: local authority offers data from the Department for Education. A school is oversubscribed when at least 5% of the families who put it first were not offered a place, and undersubscribed when everyone who put it first got in but 10% or more of its places were unfilled in the Department's school capacity survey (the latest survey is used for entry years it does not cover). Places: Department for Education, School capacity, from local authorities' annual survey as at 1 May. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024–25); the survey was not run in 2020. Places include sixth form places. Forecasts are the local authority's own for the school's planning area, an area it uses to plan places that is not the school's catchment area. The forecast starts from a head count in 2025; the dashed line is the Department's estimate of places in that area, including those the authority has firm plans for. Planned places are cumulative, and only those with firm plans are counted.
In 2025–26 Greenmount Primary School had 24.3 pupils for each teacher (the national figure for primary schools was 20.7).

| Sick days per teacher | – |
Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.
In 2025–26, 10.9% of pupils at Greenmount Primary School were on SEN support (nationally 15.4%) and 3.9% had an education, health and care (EHC) plan (nationally 4.1%).
Pupils by main type of need
| SEN support | EHC plan | |
|---|---|---|
| Speech, language and communication needs | 8 | 4 |
| Social, emotional and mental health | 7 | 1 |
| Specific learning difficulty | 7 | 0 |
| Autistic spectrum disorder | 2 | 4 |
| Moderate learning difficulty | 1 | 0 |
