About Cullingworth Village Primary School

Cullingworth Village Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 104 applications for just 45 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.31. Of those 104 applications, 43 were first-preference offers, and the school received 45 first-preference applications in total, meaning almost every family who put it first secured a spot. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Bradford area, and while the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, the sheer number of families actively choosing it speaks volumes. The school is led by headteacher Cathy Isaac and currently has 307 pupils on roll, just shy of its 315-capacity, so it is operating at near-full occupancy. With 13% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a broadly representative local community.
