About St Anthony's Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Academy

St Anthony's Catholic Primary School in Bradford stands well above the local average for its type, with 82% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, compared with a Bradford average of 59%. That gap of 23 percentage points places the school in the top 10% nationally and 9th out of 153 primary schools in the local authority. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in July 2024, confirmed the school remains Good, with leadership and management also rated Good. The previous graded inspection in 2013 had awarded an Outstanding overall, so while the headline rating has stepped down, the school continues to perform well above the LA norm on the key academic measure that matters most to parents.
