Woodside Academy
About Woodside Academy
Woodside Academy in Bradford was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in October 2024, with inspectors awarding Good across every category including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. This marks a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2019, when early years provision was rated Requires Improvement. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stood at 48% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure is below the Bradford local authority average of 59%, placing Woodside 123rd out of 153 primary schools in the area and in the bottom 50% nationally. However, looking at individual subjects tells a more nuanced story: 69% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, and 66% did so in maths, while reading sat at 59%. Only 10% of pupils reached the higher standard in reading or maths, and none did so in writing.
