Bradley Green Primary Academy
About Bradley Green Primary Academy
Bradley Green Primary Academy, a state primary in Tameside, sees 59% of its pupils reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. That is three percentage points below the local authority average of 62%, placing the school 37th out of 76 primaries in the borough. The gap is modest but consistent across individual subjects: 74% hit the expected mark in maths against a likely higher LA figure, while reading and writing sit at 67% and 78% respectively. The school’s ranking score of 59 puts it in the bottom half nationally, though it is worth noting that 44.3% of its 217 pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, which often depresses headline attainment figures. In its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection, the school was judged to have improved significantly since its last graded visit, and it retains a Good rating for overall effectiveness, leadership and management.
