About St Philip's CofE Primary School

St Philip's CofE Primary School is a primary school in Bradford, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 225 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 70% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 1.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 40% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). St Philip's CofE Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 19 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 7.0%. There are about 22.3 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 40% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. St Philip's CofE Primary School 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.
