About Hill Top CofE Primary School

Hill Top CofE Primary School is a Church of England primary in Bradford that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 79 applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.72. Of those 79 applications, 33 were first-preference choices, and 27 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage to back that up directly. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, a grade it has held consistently across its two most recent inspections. Its most recent ungraded inspection, in April 2023, confirmed the school remains Good, with leadership and management also judged Good. The school has a nursery provision for children aged three and up, and its religious character as Church of England may appeal to families seeking a faith-based setting.
