Check the area around this school
63rd of 76 primary schools in Calderdale we can score, 81 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 — 2.8/10 against 2,222 of them, against 2.7/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 62% | 2.26 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Longroyde Primary School
Overview
Longroyde Primary School is described as a place where pupils are proud to attend and feel safe, supported by "warm professional relationships" and high expectations. The school has made positive strides in curriculum design and behaviour, though challenges remain regarding attendance and the evaluation of teaching strategies.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "respectful behaviour" and benefit from a "broad and engaging curriculum" that includes opportunities for leadership and extra-curricular clubs.
- Reading is a "high priority," with effective support ensuring pupils read with "increasing fluency and accuracy" and enjoy a wide range of books.
- The new behaviour policy has reduced incidents, and staff effectively help pupils "regulate their behaviour," resulting in rare disruption in lessons.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) access the same curriculum as their peers, with "precise support" provided in most cases.
Areas to improve
- The school must improve its analysis of attendance, as some pupils miss out on learning and the current strategies are not improving rates as quickly as they could.
- Leaders need to routinely check the impact of interventions and learning strategies to ensure they are effective, as the school currently lacks "sufficient oversight" of what works.
- The governing body should give more consideration to the impact of school actions on pupils’ learning and broader development, rather than just receiving updates on changes.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
