Withinfields Primary School
Halifax, HX3 9QJ · Calderdale · primary school
71st 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.7/10 against 2,429 of them, against 2.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 10 | 35% | 0.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 0.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2025. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.7 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils visit Yorkshire Sculpture Park, places of worship, sporting events, and parliament. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 338 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 82 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who miss the breakfast club before lessons start? What specific support is available for the 0.0% of pupils reaching the higher standard? How do you manage class sizes with 82 spare places available?
