About All Saints CofE Primary School

All Saints CofE Primary School sits within the Bradford local authority, a large and diverse area with 157 primary schools. Among these, the school ranks 79th, placing it just inside the top half of its peers. Its nearest neighbour with an Outstanding Ofsted rating is Dixons Music Primary, less than half a kilometre away, while the top-performing schools in the LA include All Saints' CofE Primary School, Harden Primary School, and Copthorne Primary School. All Saints itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection, a notable improvement from its previous overall effectiveness grade of Requires Improvement. The school is a Church of England state primary for mixed pupils aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher Kathryn Shaw. With 653 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630, it is clearly a popular choice in the area.

Academically, the school's Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 show that 60% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths combined, which sits just above the Bradford LA average of 59%. However, the proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects was just 5%, and the school's ranking on this metric places it in the bottom 50 nationally. In individual subjects, 79% met the expected standard in maths, with an average score of 105, while 68% did so in reading and 72% in writing. Higher-attaining pupils were more concentrated in maths and reading, with 25% and 26% respectively reaching the higher standard, compared to just 7% in writing. The school's Ofsted inspection in June 2025 confirmed that standards were maintained, with leadership and management also judged Good. Parent feedback is overwhelmingly positive: 100% of respondents would recommend the school, and 94% strongly agreed that their child is happy there.

The school offers a broad range of facilities including a sensory room, forest school, sports hall, music rooms, and a chapel, alongside clubs such as science, coding, choir, and eco club. Sports provision includes cross country, netball, and gymnastics. For pupils with additional needs, the school supports six categories of SEND, including autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language communication needs, and social, emotional and mental health difficulties. Admissions are oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 144 applications for 60 places, with 62 first-preference applications and 58 first-preference offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.4. This is a school that suits families looking for a large, inclusive, faith-based primary with strong pastoral care and a clear upward trajectory in its Ofsted rating, though those seeking very high academic stretch may want to explore the higher-ranked peers nearby.
