About Thackley Primary School

Thackley Primary School sits comfortably ahead of the local average for Bradford primary schools, and the numbers make that clear. In the most recent Key Stage 2 results, 83% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of just 59%. That 24-point gap is significant and places the school fifth out of 153 primaries in Bradford, putting it in the top 4% of schools in the borough. It also ranks in the top 7% nationally for the same metric. The school’s overall Ofsted rating is Good, following an inspection in 2024, but two areas — early years provision and personal development — were judged Outstanding, which suggests the foundations and the wider character education are particularly strong.
