Newby Primary School
Bradford, BD5 7DQ · Bradford · primary school
58th 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 — 6.7/10 against 1,996 of them, against 5.5/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including choir, recorder, ukulele orchestra, samba band, gardening, cooking, coding, and Lego. Sports options cover Zumba, yoga, multi-skills, martial arts, and football, alongside dance. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 442 pupils in a capacity of 459, leaving 17 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 17 places remaining, how does the school manage waitlists for new starters? Since there is no breakfast club, what are the earliest arrival times for the after-school provision? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths?
