Check the area around this school
33rd 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 the 3,009 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.8/10 among them, against 7.2/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 27.0 · 97 | 25% | 2.42 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Stanbury Village School
Overview
Stanbury Village School is described as an inclusive community where pupils feel happy, safe, and proud to belong. The report highlights strong, positive relationships among staff and pupils, with a curriculum that offers a wide range of enriching experiences. While most subjects are planned well, there are inconsistencies in how learning is sequenced and assessed in certain areas.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from "strong, positive relationships" and feel supported by a "trusted adult" if they have concerns.
- The school fosters a "love of reading" through consistent phonics teaching, helping most pupils become "confident and fluent readers."
- Staff provide a "rich experience" in early years, ensuring children are "prepared well for the next stage in their education."
- Pupils take leadership roles seriously, such as serving as "mini mental health champions," contributing to a culture of respect and tolerance.
- Parents are "extremely positive about the school," with many feeling they are part of the "school family."
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, the "sequencing of key knowledge needs refinement," meaning essential content is not clearly emphasised or ordered.
- Assessment in a small number of subjects is not used well enough to identify what pupils know, leading to some being moved on without securing necessary knowledge.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
