Bolton Brow Primary Academy
About Bolton Brow Primary Academy
Bolton Brow Primary Academy holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, with the latest ungraded visit in 2022 confirming the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric for this Calderdale primary is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined. In the 2023/24 academic year, 63% of pupils reached the expected standard in all three subjects, which sits above the Calderdale local authority average of 59%. That places the school 35th out of 73 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top half locally. While no pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: 83% met the expected standard in maths and 80% in reading, though writing lagged at 70%. The average scaled scores of 106 in maths and 105 in reading are both comfortably above the national benchmark of 100, suggesting solid core teaching.
