Baildon Church of England Primary School stands out sharply against the Bradford local authority average for Key Stage 2. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 59%, Baildon achieves 82% — a full 23 percentage points higher.

The school also performs strongly at the higher standard, with 25% of pupils reaching that level across all three subjects. This performance places Baildon 8th out of 153 primary schools in Bradford, putting it comfortably in the top 10% locally and the top 9% nationally. It’s a Church of England primary with a mixed intake of 427 pupils, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2024 awarded Outstanding across every category judged — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management.
