St Oswald's Church of England Primary Academy
Bradford, BD7 3JT · Bradford · primary school
147th 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 — 3.8/10 against 1,374 of them, against 3.0/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.04 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 449 pupils in a capacity of 480, leaving 31 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2024 inspection? Are there any wraparound care options, such as breakfast or after-school clubs, available for families?
