About Hollingwood Primary School

Hollingwood Primary School sits within the Bradford local authority, where it ranks 24th out of 157 primary schools — comfortably inside the top 25 per cent of its peers. Among the highest-scoring schools in the same area are All Saints' CofE Primary School, Harden Primary School, and Copthorne Primary School, the latter of which is also the nearest Outstanding-rated school, just 2.2 kilometres away. Hollingwood itself holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in 2022 that confirmed the school 'remains Good'. The school is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. It is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 117 applications for 49 places, and all 49 first-preference offers were taken up, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.39. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation.
