Bradford, BD6 3NR · Bradford · primary school
141st 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 — 3.5/10 against 2,302 of them, against 3.1/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 8 | 35% | 0.26 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026. 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 (3.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join cooking, first aid, recorders, film, Harry Potter, sign language, and gardening clubs. Sports include multi sports, Cross Country, and Indoor curling. Arts activities feature theatre visits, the Bradford Future Arts project, music sharing assemblies, and the Take One Picture programme. Trips go to Shibden Park, Worth Valley Railway, St Georges Hall, Bradford City Hall, Sealife, St.Swithens Farm, and Magna. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 456 pupils in a capacity of 484 places, leaving 28 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? What specific support is available for children who arrive late due to the lack of a breakfast club? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum or social development?
