School Description

Appleton Academy is an average-sized all-through school. Its sixth form is much smaller than average. The school is sponsored by the Bradford College Educational Trust. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for support through the pupil premium (additional funding for those pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, children from service families and those children who are looked after by the local authority) is well above the national average. The number of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds, and the proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language, are in line with those seen nationally. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs or with an education, health and care plan is in line with that found nationally. A small number of pupils attend off-site alternative provision at Bradford College. The school meets the government’s floor standards, which set out the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress.

“Needs better Leadership!”

unlock
"> Both my children attended this school. There is a lack of support for children who are doing well in my opinion; the focus is helping children who are struggling, hence bringing the over all grade down. I often try speaking with teachers, they say the right things to appease you, but nothing happens.
“A let down”

unlock
"> My child is in the sixth form and this school has, in my opinion, let us down so close to A Levels. We have experienced a lack of teachers to finish some of the chosen subjects. No help from Head of Year. PLEASE do not let your child stay on at this school if they want to go on to university.
