About Westbourne Primary School

Westbourne Primary School sits right on the local authority average for the key measure of how many pupils reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2. With 60% of its pupils hitting that benchmark, it matches the Bradford LA average of 59% almost exactly. That puts the school in the middle of the pack locally — ranked 81st out of 153 primary schools in the authority, and in the bottom half nationally. What stands out more is the school’s recent trajectory. In its most recent graded inspection in 2016, Ofsted rated the school Good overall, with leadership and management also Good. That was a clear step up from its previous inspection in 2013, when the school was judged to Require Improvement. An ungraded inspection in April 2025 confirmed that standards have been maintained, and the early years provision was singled out as Outstanding. So while the headline academic numbers are unremarkable for the area, the school has clearly stabilised and is holding steady.
