All Saints' CofE Primary School

About All Saints' CofE Primary School

If you're a parent weighing up All Saints' CofE Primary School, the numbers suggest a school that local families are keen to get into. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 90 applications for just 37 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.43. All 37 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which is a strong signal that those who put it top of their list tend to get in. The school is rated Good overall by Ofsted following its December 2023 inspection, with every category — from quality of education to behaviour and leadership — judged Good. That's a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2009, but the current inspection is far more recent and thorough. With 347 pupils against a capacity of 420, there's some breathing room, but the application numbers show demand is high.

Academically, All Saints' is performing well above the local average. At Key Stage 2, 91% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Bradford local authority average of just 59%. The school ranks first out of 153 primary schools in the area on this measure, and sits in the top 5% nationally. Reading scores are particularly strong: 100% of pupils met the expected standard, and 66% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 112. Maths is also impressive, with 96% at the expected level and an average score of 110. Writing is a relative weak spot — only 15% hit the higher standard — but 91% still met the expected level. The school doesn't publish progress scores, so it's hard to say how much value it adds, but the raw attainment figures are hard to argue with.

The school offers a solid range of facilities for a primary, including a sports hall, music rooms, a sensory room, a forest school area and a chapel. There are clubs covering drama, choir, science, eco and gardening, and sports include gymnastics, netball, tennis, cricket and athletics. SEND provision is broad, covering dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, speech and language needs, autism and social, emotional and mental health support. The school is Church of England but doesn't appear to have a nursery or sixth form. For families who value strong academic outcomes and a faith-based setting in Bradford, and who are comfortable with a school that's popular but not impossible to get into, All Saints' looks like a very solid bet.
