About Keelham Primary School

Keelham Primary School is a small state primary in Bradford, with 114 pupils on roll against a capacity of 118, meaning it runs very close to full. Its intake reflects a relatively low level of economic disadvantage: 11.5% of pupils qualify for free school meals, compared with a national primary average of around 23%, so the school serves a noticeably less deprived cohort than many in the area. Demand is high — for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 91 applications for just 15 places, an oversubscription ratio of 6.07 to one. Of those, 19 families put it as their first preference, and 14 received offers. That level of competition suggests Keelham has a strong local reputation, particularly among families who can be selective about where they apply. The school is non-denominational, co-educational, and has a nursery provision, so it caters for children from age three upwards. Robert Hunter is the headteacher.
