49th 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 — 7.4/10 against 2,257 of them, against 6.1/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Greengates Primary Academy
Overview
Greengates Primary Academy continues to be a good school, providing a "welcoming and supportive environment" where pupils feel well cared for and proud. Leaders maintain high aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs, fostering positive relationships and good behaviour.
Strengths
- Pupils form "positive, warm relationships with staff" and feel safe, with bullying described as rare.
- Reading is a clear priority, with "consistent" phonics teaching and targeted support ensuring pupils at risk of falling behind are quickly identified.
- The curriculum is "broad and interesting" and "ambitious," with careful attention to vocabulary development and revisiting previous learning to secure understanding.
- Leaders ensure inclusive opportunities, such as educational outings and pupil leadership roles, so that "no child misses out."
- Staff well-being is supported by the Trust, which provides training and helps manage workload.
Areas to improve
- Subject leaders in a small number of areas must ensure "regular checks are made" to verify curriculum implementation and provide clear guidance for refinement.
- Leaders should continue working with families and agencies to ensure all groups of pupils "attend school on time, every day," as some are missing important learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders being "vigilant" and clear systems in place for reporting concerns and recording actions.
