St. Clare's Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Academy
Bradford, BD2 3JD · Bradford · primary school
110th 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 — 2.6/10 against 1,611 of them, against 2.4/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
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 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. 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 (2.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 200 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 10 spare places. With 43.0% of pupils eligible for free school meals against a national average of 25%, 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 have not yet reached the expected standard in core subjects? What specific enrichment opportunities are available to students during the school day? How does the leadership team plan to address the gap between current results and the national median?
