Dixons Music Primary
Bradford, BD5 0BE · Bradford · primary school
31st 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.7/10 against 4,127 of them, against 5.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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% | 1.86 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in September 2022. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Dixons Athletic Event and the Journey virtual art exhibition. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 419 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving just 1 spare place. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to secure a place given the single spare spot? How has the 2022 inspection rating been maintained since then?
