About Worthinghead Primary School

Worthinghead Primary School sits in a tricky spot compared with other Bradford primaries. Its headline metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 37%, well below the local authority average of 59%. That places the school 145th out of 157 primary schools in the Bradford area, putting it firmly in the bottom tier locally. The gap is significant and worth noting if you’re weighing up options. On the other hand, the school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 64 applications for 30 places, with 32 of those as first preferences. That suggests local families are still keen, perhaps drawn by factors beyond raw exam scores. The school’s capacity is 210 and it currently has 208 pupils, so it’s running very close to full. With 21.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals, Worthinghead serves a community with above-average disadvantage, which often pulls headline results down.
