About Foxhill Primary School

Foxhill Primary School in Bradford holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in May 2025, with inspectors awarding Good across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That consistency is worth noting, but the school’s academic outcomes tell a more complicated story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 38% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is well below the Bradford local authority average of 59%, and it places Foxhill 143rd out of 153 primary schools in the area. The school’s national ranking sits in the bottom 10% of all primary schools. On individual subjects, the picture is mixed: 76% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, which is a solid result, but only 55% did so in maths and 59% in reading. The proportion reaching the higher standard in any subject was in single digits.
