Keighley, BD20 6EB · Bradford · secondary school
17th of 35 secondary schools in Bradford we can score. 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 — 3.0/10 against 792 of them, against 2.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 36.8 · 31 | 30% | 0.94 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.29 · 28 | 25% | 0.70 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 38.6 · 15 | 10% | 0.15 |
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. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025. In 2024/25, 36.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 38.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.29 in 2023/24, meaning pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. 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 (3.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. There are 790 pupils in a school with 900 places, leaving 110 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their current attainment and the national median? What specific steps are taken to improve progress scores for students starting from similar backgrounds? How does the school utilise its current spare capacity to support existing pupils?
