Outwood Primary Academy Littleworth Grange
Barnsley, S71 5RG · Barnsley · primary school
21st of 72 primary schools in Barnsley we can score, 77 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 — 8.4/10 against 1,594 of them, against 7.1/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 29.0 · 98 | 25% | 2.44 |
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%. 29.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 403 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 17 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths? With only 17 places remaining, what is the process for securing a spot if you move into the area mid-year? How does the school engage parents in their child’s daily learning?
