Byron Primary School
Bradford, BD3 0AB · Bradford · primary school
62nd of 156 primary schools in Bradford we can score, 157 in total — the rest without enough published data. 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 — 6.9/10 against 1,741 of them, against 5.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 1.0 · 21 | 25% | 0.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 1.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Cool Down Club, play football or dodgeball, and attend cooking sessions. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 661 pupils in a building with 630 places, meaning it is over capacity by 31. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 31 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is offered to help children reach the higher standard in core subjects? How accessible is the after-school club for families who need it?
