About Home Farm Primary School

Home Farm Primary School in Bradford holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its last two inspections. The most recent graded inspection in 2016 rated both leadership and management and early years provision as Good, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. However, the school’s academic story is more nuanced. At Key Stage 2, 55% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the Bradford local authority average of 59%. This places the school 101st out of 153 primary schools in the local authority, putting it in the bottom half of the league table. The data suggests that while the school is well-led and has been judged to provide a good quality of education, its core academic outcomes at the end of primary school are not yet matching the local average.
