Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
5.5/10 Broadly average

31st 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 3,799 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1/10 among them, against 5.7/10 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

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 65.0 · 52 40% 2.07
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 10.0 · 66 25% 1.65

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, 65.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1 out of 10 among them, against 5.7 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. The school offers a Warley Fun Club, along with both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 129 pupils in a school with 137 places, leaving 8 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard? What specific activities take place during the Warley Fun Club? How does the school manage the transition for the 8 remaining places?
