Mixed Primary Church of England
8.4/10 Well above average

5th of 76 primary schools in Calderdale we can score, 82 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 the 2,767 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.5/10 among them, against 8.4/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 79.0 · 86 62% 5.28
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 14.0 · 81 38% 3.12

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
