About Grove House Primary School

Grove House Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit slightly below the Bradford local authority average, a gap that is worth noting for parents weighing up their options. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 50%, compared with the LA average of 59% for primary schools. This places it 115th out of 157 primary schools in the borough, firmly in the bottom half of the local rankings. However, the picture is not uniformly flat. In reading, 70% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average reading score of 104 is solid. Writing also performed reasonably well, with 72% reaching the expected level. Maths is where the school dips more noticeably, with 60% at the expected standard and an average score of 102. Only 5% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, which is a low figure and explains much of the gap with the LA average.
