Check the area around this school
147th 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 — 1.9/10 against 1,726 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 | 48.0 · 16 | 62% | 1.00 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 38% | 0.92 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Green Lane Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 48.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 2.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. 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 (1.9 out of 10 either way).

What Ofsted said about Green Lane Primary School
Overview
Pupils at Green Lane Primary School feel happy and safe, enjoying a welcoming environment where staff relationships are described as "warm and caring." The school is stabilising and "rapidly improving" following a period of instability, with leaders demonstrating an accurate understanding of strengths and areas for development. While effective curriculum improvements are having a positive impact, this progress is not yet fully reflected in provisional Key Stage 2 national assessment results.
Strengths
- Reading is a daily priority, with staff teaching phonics with "great enthusiasm" and ensuring pupils who need support receive it regularly.
- The curriculum has been redeveloped and is "carefully sequenced from the early years to Year 6," helping pupils benefit from identified key knowledge.
- Mathematics teaching is effective, with regular opportunities for pupils to recall prior learning and address gaps, leading to improved fluency skills.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive "well-considered support" and play a full part in school life, including taking on leadership roles.
- Personal development is strong, with pupils understanding fundamental British values and benefiting from initiatives like "Well-being warriors" to support mental health.
Areas to improve
- In some curriculum areas, gaps in pupils’ knowledge are not consistently identified, meaning knowledge builds less securely over time; the school should develop an effective approach to ensure these gaps are consistently identified.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
