Check the area around this school
48th of 76 primary schools in Calderdale we can score, 81 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 4,203 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.8/10 among them, against 3.7/10 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The inspection highlights that pupils thrive in a safe environment underpinned by "strong Christian values," resulting in "exemplary" behaviour and "remarkable" personal development.
Strengths

- The curriculum in mathematics and reading is "highly effective," with teachers helping pupils solve problems confidently and read with "increasing confidence and fluency."

- The wider curriculum provides a strong sense of community through visits, local professionals, and trips that "bring the curriculum to life."
Areas to improve
