About Bowling Green Academy

Bowling Green Academy is a primary school in Calderdale that holds a Good rating from Ofsted, but the detail of its latest inspection tells a more interesting story. In its 2023 graded inspection, inspectors awarded Outstanding marks in three of the five categories: early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes, as well as leadership and management. The school’s overall effectiveness and quality of education were both judged Good, matching its previous inspection in 2012. On the most telling academic metric available, 82 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure places the school fourth out of 73 primary schools in Calderdale, comfortably in the top ten per cent locally and in the top eight per cent nationally. It also sits well above the local authority average of 59 per cent, giving parents a clear signal that this is a school where outcomes are consistently strong.
