Based on the most recent published single-word Ofsted grades. Ofsted stopped issuing overall grades (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate) in September 2024, so schools inspected more recently — under Ofsted’s report cards — may not have one.

Bradford has 231 schools across 7 towns — 157 primary, 32 secondary, educating around 102,137 pupils. 89% of schools with a published Ofsted grade are rated Good or Outstanding (85 of 95).
