About Atlas Community Primary School

Atlas Community Primary School sits within the Bradford local authority, a large and diverse area with 157 primary schools. In the most recent ranking of these schools by KS2 reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment, Atlas placed 45th, comfortably inside the top 50. Its ranking score of 68 puts it behind the local top performers — All Saints' CofE Primary School (91), Harden Primary School (87) and Copthorne Primary School (85) — but still well ahead of the majority of Bradford primaries. The school serves a community with above-average disadvantage: 36.7 per cent of its 193 pupils are eligible for free school meals, notably higher than the national average. Despite this, the school has made clear progress since its previous Ofsted inspection in November 2022, when it was rated Requires Improvement. In its most recent graded inspection in April 2025, inspectors judged the school Good overall, with Outstanding ratings for behaviour and attitudes, personal development and early years provision.
