About Blakehill Primary School

Blakehill Primary School is clearly a popular choice among Bradford families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 249 applications for just 59 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4.22. That means more than four families applied for every available spot, and of the 68 families who put it as their first preference, 52 were offered a place. While the school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, the sheer demand suggests a strong local reputation. The school is led by headteacher Lisa Keighley and currently has 415 pupils on roll, just five short of its full capacity of 420. It's a non-denominational state primary for mixed genders, serving children from ages 4 to 11 in the Bradford local authority area.
