About this school
Holcombe Brook Primary School is a primary academy in Bury. It teaches children aged 5 to 11.
Ofsted has inspected Holcombe Brook Primary School, and its latest judgement is set out below. Seeing a school for yourself shows what no page can, so arrange a visit before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
Ofsted's most recent visit was a short inspection on 11 December 2024, where inspectors found that standards have been maintained. The school's last full inspection took place before September 2019, so its area grades are not part of Ofsted's current published data. Older reports are on the school's Ofsted page.
This inspection took place when the school was registered as Holcombe Brook Primary School (URN 105311).

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
