Bradford, BD4 7EB · Bradford · secondary school
10th of 35 secondary schools in Bradford we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.0/10 against 582 of them, against 6.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 45.9 · 55 | 30% | 1.66 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.21 · 65 | 25% | 1.63 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 48.9 · 66 | 10% | 0.66 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Getting in. There are 714 pupils in a school with 720 places, leaving 6 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 6 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new intakes? How does the Rise and Shine Club support pupils during the transition to secondary education? What specific support is available for pupils aiming to raise their Progress 8 scores?
