About Horton Grange Primary School

Horton Grange Primary School is a large state primary in Bradford, operating with 728 pupils against a capacity of 750, meaning it runs very close to full. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 32.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. Demand is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 166 applications for 72 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.31, with 68 first-preference offers made. The school is non-religious and co-educational, taking children from age 2 through to 11, and it includes a nursery provision. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in September 2024, rated the school Good overall, though inspectors chose not to assign an overall effectiveness grade. That inspection marked a change from the school’s previous Outstanding rating in 2015, but the report still awarded Outstanding for personal development and for behaviour and attitudes.
