Frizinghall Primary School
Bradford, BD9 4HP · Bradford · primary school
101st 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 — 6.0/10 against 2,337 of them, against 5.0/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 8 | 35% | 0.28 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils take part in cycling lessons, visit Cartwright Hall and an 1853 mill in Saltaire, and access residential opportunities at outdoor and adventure centres. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 410 pupils in a capacity of 420 places, leaving 10 spare spots. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 10 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list if demand exceeds capacity? Since there is no breakfast club, what are the earliest drop-off times for parents who need early care? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects?
