About Kader Academy

If you're a parent weighing up Kader Academy, the numbers suggest it's a school that local families are keen to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 99 applications for 49 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.02. That means more than two families applied for every spot, and 41 of those applications were first-preference choices, indicating strong local demand. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2022, confirmed that the school 'remains Good', and the previous graded inspection in 2013 also rated overall effectiveness as Good, with leadership and management and early years provision both judged Good. The headteacher is Janet Donald, and the school serves a community where 19.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, slightly above the national average.
