About Shipley CofE Primary School

Shipley CofE Primary School sits in a mixed position compared with the Bradford local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 59 per cent, while Shipley’s figure is 55 per cent — four points below the local norm. However, the school’s average reading score of 103 and maths score of 102 both exceed the national benchmark of 100, suggesting that pupils who do meet the expected standard tend to do so with solid scores. The school’s ranking within Bradford places it 102nd out of 157 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half of the LA. Nationally, it sits in the 68th percentile, meaning roughly a third of primary schools across England perform below it. For parents weighing up options, the headline picture is one of a school that is broadly in line with its neighbours but not among the highest-performing in the district.
