About Low Moor CofE Primary School

Low Moor CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, though its previous inspection in 2012 had awarded it Outstanding. The inspection report shows that while the overall effectiveness has dipped, the school still achieves Outstanding marks in two key areas: early years provision and behaviour and attitudes. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 62%. That is three percentage points above the Bradford local authority average of 59%, placing the school in the top half of primary schools nationally. However, only 5% of pupils reached the higher standard in all three subjects, and the school ranks 69th out of 153 primary schools in Bradford, putting it in the bottom 50% of the local authority.
