About Dixons Music Primary

Dixons Music Primary in Bradford has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a significant turnaround from its Requires Improvement rating in 2014. The school’s most recent graded inspection in 2016 awarded top marks across the board, and a follow-up ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Outstanding. On the most informative exam metric available, Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 show that 53% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the local authority average of 59%, placing the school 105th out of 157 primary schools in Bradford. While the overall combined score is modest, individual subject results tell a more nuanced story: 72% reached the expected standard in writing, 70% in maths, and 63% in reading.
