40% agreeBradford Academy's last overall grade from Ofsted was Requires Improvement, on 11 January 2023. Ofsted inspected it again on 29 April 2025 without giving an overall grade, as single-word grades ended in September 2024.
No. Distance only counts when Bradford Academy has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its academy trust, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. As a Church of England school, it can give priority to children on grounds of faith. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
Bradford Academy had 1,682 pupils aged 2 to 19 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 1,891. It is a mixed school with a sixth form.
