About Myrtle Park Primary

Myrtle Park Primary’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in July 2024, rated the school as Requires Improvement overall, a downgrade from its previous Good rating in 2019. However, the picture is more nuanced than that headline suggests. While the quality of education was judged to require improvement, every other category — early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management — was rated Good. That means the school’s day-to-day atmosphere and pastoral care are solid, but the academic curriculum itself needs work. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 71 per cent. That is comfortably above the Bradford local authority average of 59 per cent, placing Myrtle Park 36th out of 153 primary schools in the area, and in the top 25 per cent nationally. So while the Ofsted rating flags a problem, the actual outcomes suggest many children are doing well academically.
