Rainbow Primary Leadership Academy

School overview

Rainbow Primary Leadership Academy is a primary school serving Bradford, classified by the DfE as a free school. It has 357 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 66% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. Results have held broadly steady on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 10% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 25% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Rainbow Primary Leadership Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 28 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.4%. There are about 25.5 pupils per teacher. Rainbow Primary Leadership Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
