Thorpe Primary
Bradford, BD10 9PY · Bradford · primary school
47th 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 — 7.8/10 against 1,609 of them, against 6.4/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in sports festivals and visit the theatre. They also take outdoor and adventurous trips, visit the coast and major cities, and attend a leavers' cinema trip. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 196 pupils in a capacity of 206 places, leaving 10 spare spots. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 10 places remaining, how does the school manage waiting lists for new starters? Since there is no breakfast club, what options exist for early morning care? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects?
