About Keighley St Andrew's CofE Primary School and Nursery

Keighley St Andrew's CofE Primary School and Nursery is a Church of England state primary in Bradford that is clearly popular with local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 52 applications for its 32 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.63, meaning for every place available there were more than one and a half families hoping to secure it. All 32 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who put the school at the top of their list, the chances of getting in were strong. The school is led by headteacher Mercedes Stephenson and currently has 348 pupils on roll, which is above its official capacity of 315. Around 28.8 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives some indication of the level of disadvantage in the intake. The school also has a nursery provision for children from age three.
