39th of 76 primary schools in Calderdale we can score, 81 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 the 4,017 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 4.4/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Carr Green Primary School
Overview
Carr Green Primary School is judged ‘Good’ across all inspection categories, marking a significant recovery from a previous decline in standards. Leaders have successfully halted this decline by implementing an “ambitious and well considered” curriculum and raising expectations for pupil achievement. The school fosters a positive environment where pupils feel safe, valued, and prepared for future learning.
Strengths
- Early years provision is strong, with children making a “really strong start” and showing an “impressive level of independence.”
- Reading is a high priority; pupils learn to read well through systematic teaching, and staff ensure books “match the sounds they know.”
- The curriculum is “well-sequenced” and “relevant,” with careful planning in subjects like history to ensure pupils retain key knowledge.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “fully included” in activities, with leaders adapting the curriculum effectively.
- Personal development is a high priority, with pupils taking on leadership roles and demonstrating a strong understanding of British values.
Areas to improve
- The delivery of the mathematics curriculum is “not fully consistent across all year groups,” meaning some pupils do not learn as effectively in maths as in other subjects.
- The behaviour of some older pupils during lessons and unstructured times “does not always live up to the high expectations of leaders,” requiring further work to embed the new behaviour policy consistently.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
