About St Matthew's CofE Primary School and Nursery

St Matthew's CofE Primary School and Nursery in Bradford was rated Requires Improvement overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a downgrade from the Good rating it held in its previous inspection a decade earlier. The inspection report paints a mixed picture: behaviour and attitudes, and personal development, were both rated Good, but the quality of education was judged to require improvement, and early years provision was found to be Inadequate. Leadership and management also requires improvement. For a primary school, the early years foundation stage is a critical foundation, and the Inadequate rating there is a significant concern for parents of younger children. The school's most informative exam metric is the Key Stage 2 SATs results, where the local authority average for schools of this type is 59 percent achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. St Matthew's own data on this measure is not provided in the available information, making it difficult to benchmark its academic performance against the Bradford average or against top-performing local peers like All Saints' CofE Primary School.
