What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 June 2026
Pupils at Lidget Green Primary School are happy, confident and safe. They have warm, positive relationships with staff and they enjoy coming to school. Bullying rarely happens. When it does, pupils know that staff will deal with it quickly and well. Pupils behave with respect and kindness, both towards one another and towards adults. They respond well to the positive rewards system across the school and the way in which staff model good behaviour to them. Classrooms are calm, positive environments where pupils enjoy their learning. This is particularly evident in the early years. Pupils also enjoy the wide range of structured activities which are available to them during social times. Most pupils attend school regularly and they know it is important to do so. Over time, pupils' achievement has not been as good as it should have been. Changes to the curriculum and teaching mean that pupils are now achieving better than they did in the past. Pupils can explain how their learning builds their knowledge. They enjoy reading and do so with confidence. They like the way that activities in lessons help them to understand the world around them, such as the 'Proud to be from Bradford' project, which all pupils complete at the start of each year. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities which enrich their learning. These include visits to a local farm and learning practical skills within the on-site forest school. There are also several pupil leadership opportunities across the school, such as house captains, the school council and play leaders. Pupils are proud to be in these roles and speak positively about the way in which they influence the life of the school.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should ensure that improvements to the curriculum and teaching are realised in pupils' achievement across the full curriculum and in outcomes in national tests and assessments.
- Leaders should continue to drive strategies to improve attendance to ensure that all pupils attend school regularly.
- Leaders should further develop the impact of strategies to support the workload and wellbeing of all staff.
