About Victoria Primary School

Victoria Primary School in Bradford sits well below the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, a fact that will be central for any parent weighing up academic performance. In the 2023/24 results, just 49% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Bradford LA average of 59%. That ten-point gap places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 119th out of 153 in the local authority and in the bottom 50% tier overall. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 70% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, which is more encouraging, but reading (58%) and writing (60%) both lag. Only 2% of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, and the school’s ranking score of 49 puts it well behind local peers like All Saints’ CofE Primary (91) or Harden Primary (87).
