14th 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 — 5.1/10 against 888 of them, against 4.8/10 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% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 44.3 · 48 | 30% | 1.44 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.02 · 49 | 25% | 1.22 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 45.0 · 44 | 10% | 0.44 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Trinity Academy Bradford
Overview
Trinity Academy Bradford is described as a school that is “going from strength to strength” under the leadership of the trust and governing body. The report highlights that pupils receive a high-quality education with “improving behaviour and outcomes,” while personal development is rated as “Outstanding.” Leaders are praised for taking “decisive action” to enhance the quality of education and care, creating a positive environment where staff are proud to work.
Strengths
- Personal development is “exemplary,” with programmes like the ‘Graduation’ scheme and ‘Competitive Edge’ helping pupils prepare for life in modern Britain.
- The school provides well for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring needs are identified and barriers to learning are removed.
- Reading support is effective, with “bespoke pathways” helping early readers catch up and a curriculum that sparks pupils’ interest in texts.
- Attendance has improved significantly due to investment in an “attendance hub” that ensures swift action where needed.
- Safeguarding arrangements are “effective,” with an open culture that puts pupils’ interests first.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure consistency in curriculum delivery across all subjects, as work to improve teaching in some areas remains “ongoing.”
- Pupils in subjects where the curriculum is less secure do not yet develop a “secure bank of knowledge over time,” affecting their achievement in national assessments.
- The school needs to continue raising the attendance of disadvantaged pupils, which is currently not where leaders want it to be.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
