About Wilsden Primary School

Wilsden Primary School’s headline metrics tell a mixed story when set against the Bradford local authority average for primary schools. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (the key stage 2 benchmark) is 59 per cent, but Wilsden’s figure sits at 49 per cent — ten percentage points below the norm. That places the school 121st out of 153 primaries in Bradford, firmly in the bottom half of the league table. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single headline suggests. In reading, 81 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, well above the national average, and 23 per cent reached the higher standard — a strong showing. Maths tells a different story: only 58 per cent hit the expected mark, and just 7 per cent achieved the higher threshold. Writing sits in between, with 67 per cent at expected and 9 per cent at higher. So while the combined figure lags behind the LA average, individual subjects reveal real strengths, particularly in reading.
