Check the area around this school
75th 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 — 4.4/10 against 3,348 of them, against 4.4/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.61 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Haworth Primary School
Overview
Haworth Primary School is described as a "friendly and welcoming place" where pupils enjoy learning and build strong relationships. The inspection confirms that the school has "taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection," fostering a supportive atmosphere where children feel safe and valued.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate enthusiasm for school values, known as ‘Haworth Heroes’, and take on leadership roles as ambassadors and role models.
- The school has created a "welcoming reading environment" with effective phonics teaching, enabling staff to quickly identify and support pupils at risk of falling behind.
- A broad and balanced curriculum includes enhanced teaching in subjects like history and geography, featuring "more hands-on activities" and practical elements.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) work well alongside peers, supported by a specially resourced provision called 'The Nest' for regulation and well-being.
- Leaders actively monitor attendance, leading to "significant improvements," while promoting a positive culture focused on staff and pupil well-being.
Areas to improve
- New strategies for helping pupils remember key knowledge in foundation subjects are "not fully effective," meaning some pupils struggle to connect important learning over time.
- Some pupils have not learned correct letter formation and struggle with writing; the school must prioritise teaching accurate letter formation and improving handwriting fluency.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
