Check the area around this school
120th 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 — 1.8/10 against 2,325 of them, against 1.9/10 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 | 41.0 · 9 | 40% | 0.35 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Eastwood Community School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 41.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 4.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom
Pupils participate in the Eco Team and sports day, with trips to Nell Bank Outdoor Education Centre, Blackpool, and Yorkshire Wildlife Park.

What Ofsted said about Eastwood Community School
Overview
Eastwood Community School is described as a place that ‘nurtures healthy, happy, lifelong learners’, with community and relationships at its heart. Leaders successfully ‘build a brighter future together’, fostering an ‘inclusive and experiential’ curriculum that supports pupils’ personal development and well-being. The school is praised for its strong family centre and the high quality of education provided in reading and mathematics.
Strengths
- Leaders prioritise reading, introducing a consistent phonic scheme that helps pupils build fluency and enjoy high-quality books.
- Mathematics is delivered well, with timely interventions addressing misconceptions and helping pupils see its relevance in everyday life.
- Personal development is outstanding, with pupils demonstrating care, respect, and tolerance, and engaging meaningfully in citizenship projects.
- The early years provision is strong, with children becoming independent and confident through well-planned activities and high-quality interactions.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well, accessing the same curriculum as their peers wherever possible.
Areas to improve
- Leaders have not clearly identified the essential knowledge pupils need in some foundation subjects, leading to gaps in learning; they should map this out to ensure consistent progress across all subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where staff understand risks, follow clear reporting procedures, and work with outside agencies to keep pupils safe.
