About Dixons Trinity Academy
If you're comparing secondary schools in Bradford, the headline numbers at Dixons Trinity Academy are striking. The school's Progress 8 score of +0.72 sits well above the local authority average of -0.19, meaning pupils here make significantly more academic progress than their peers across Bradford. That score places it first out of 34 schools in the LA, and in the top 9% nationally. It's a non-selective, mixed state school for ages 11 to 16, with no sixth form and no religious character. The school is oversubscribed by a huge margin — 1,219 applications for 130 places in 2025/26, with 167 first-preference applications for just 111 offers. That's a ratio of over nine applicants per place, so it's clearly a school that local families are keen to get into.
