About Copthorne Primary School

Copthorne Primary School sits well above the Bradford local authority average for primary schools when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 59%, but at Copthorne that figure stands at 85% — a gap of 26 percentage points. That performance places the school third out of 153 primary schools in Bradford, putting it in the top 2% locally and in the top 6% nationally. It’s one of only 15 schools in the authority rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and its nearest similarly-rated neighbour, Dixons Music Primary, is less than a kilometre away. With a Progress 8 score not available for primary, the KS2 results offer the clearest picture: this is a school that consistently outperforms its peers in the same borough.
