A warm welcome to all of our visitors here at St Philip's Church of England Primary Academy. Children are at the centre of every decision that we make our core purpose is to provide a broad and balanced curriculum for our pupils, and give them the opportunity to achieve their potential. Our academy is situated at the heart of Girlington.
We are a part of Bradford Diocesan Academy Trust (BDAT), a multi-academy trust developed by the Diocese of Leeds. Alongside this collaboration, we also have strong associations with our local schools, St Philip's Church and our Local Achievement Partnership. These links strengthen our offer to our pupils, staff and wider community.
At St Philip's CE Primary Academy, we offer a curriculum and learning environment that promote interest, excitement, motivation, achievement and success. Our classrooms are bright, cheerful and welcoming. We work very closely with our families to ensure that children achieve good attendance, punctuality, behaviour and, ultimately, positive learning outcomes.
