Check the area around this school
143rd 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 the 3,769 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4/10 among them, against 2.2/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 62% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Clayton Village Academy
Overview
Clayton Village Primary School is described as a “happy and inclusive school community” where staff maintain “high expectations for pupils’ behaviour and achievement.” The report notes that children make a “good start” in the early years and that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “well supported.” Overall, the school provides a positive environment where relationships are strong and pupils feel safe.
Strengths
- Pupils learn to read quickly, benefiting from strategic staff deployment and a culture that encourages a “love of books.”
- The curriculum for personal, social and health education prepares pupils well for life beyond school, covering topics such as online safety and mental health.
- Staff manage behaviour effectively, with incidents of bullying being “very rare” due to efficient and prompt responses.
- The early years curriculum is effective, with staff helping children learn important vocabulary and reinforcing positive behaviours like sharing and kindness.
- Meaningful experiences, such as social action projects and family breakfasts, support pupils’ social development and help build positive relationships with parents.
Areas to improve
- The school should ensure that information gathered about its work is “analysed effectively and used efficiently to inform next steps,” as current analysis is not always effective.
- In wider curriculum subjects, the school must clearly identify important knowledge and ensure pupils have sufficient opportunity to “revisit and expand upon” it to deepen their understanding.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
