Before you apply

Four things worth knowing in BD2

  1. Some are faith schools.

    4 of the 11 primary schools in BD2 have a religious character. When they're full, they can put families of their faith first, so check each school's rules.

    Show schools with no religious character

  2. A nursery place isn't a Reception place.

    9 schools take children from age 2 or 3. You still need to apply for Reception, even if your child is already in the school's nursery.

    Show schools with a nursery

  3. Apply by 15 January.

    Apply to your council for a Reception place starting in September. Offers come out on 16 April.

  4. Check how old the Ofsted grade is.

    Some grades are many years old. Each school's page shows the date of its last inspection and what's changed since.

Questions

Questions parents ask

How many primary schools are in BD2?
There are 11 primary schools in BD2, including state-funded, academies, and independent schools.
What are the best primary schools in BD2?
The highest-ranked primary schools in BD2 on Eduscope are St Francis Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Academy, Cavendish Primary School and Swain House Primary School. We rank each state school against schools of the same phase across England on its Ofsted inspection, results and attendance.
How are primary schools in BD2 ranked on Eduscope?
Each state school gets a rank score out of 100. We place each measure as a percentile among state schools of the same phase across England, then weight them. Primary schools: latest Ofsted inspection 30%, pupils meeting the expected standard at Key Stage 2 30%, pupils reaching the higher standard 10%, persistent absence (lower is better) 20%, average reading and maths scores 10%. Secondary schools: latest Ofsted inspection 25%, Attainment 8 25%, grade 5 or above in English and maths 15%, persistent absence (lower is better) 15%, pupils staying in education or work after GCSEs 10%, A level average points (sixth forms only) 10%. Results are averaged over up to three years, and an Ofsted grade older than five years counts for less. A school needs data for at least 60% of the weights. Special schools, pupil referral units, nurseries, independent schools and 16 to 19 schools aren't ranked, and are listed by Ofsted grade and name. Our methodology page explains more.
How do I choose a primary school in BD2?
When choosing a primary school in BD2, consider Ofsted ratings, Key Stage 2 results, distance from home, school size, and whether the school offers wrap-around care. You can compare all 11 primary schools on Eduscope using filters for school type, gender, religious character, and more.
