Nursery at Co-op Academy Penny Oaks
Last reviewed: October 2026 · Inspection data and key information above update regularly, however, this review below is refreshed bi-annually and may not reflect recent changes. Contact the nursery directly to confirm current arrangements. If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
A nursery within a Bradford primary school is the defining feature here. Co-op Academy Penny Oaks has nursery provision and is based in Barkerend, on Upper Nidd Street, Leeds Road. It is a mixed state school with no religious character.
The school’s Ofsted rating is Good. That is a school judgement, not a separate nursery inspection outcome.
Early learning has support at trust level. Two Directors of Early Years work across the primary academies on provision, learning environments and curriculum development. Their Primary Early Years training programme covers phonics, early literacy and maths: the foundations of learning about sounds, reading and numbers.
Co-op Academies Trust also expects its academies to work through its Ways of Being Co-op. These include Show you care and Succeed together, giving cooperation and consideration for others an explicit place in the trust’s educational aims.
SEND support also has a trust structure. The Primary Director of SEND has introduced a system for assessing additional needs and tracking pupils’ progress, alongside specialist multisensory tuition across the trust. These are trust initiatives, rather than a description of an individual child’s nursery support.
The trust says that each child matters equally and aims to support individual needs. Its curriculum expectations include adapting teaching to promote equality and inclusion.
Attending this nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Nursery entry and Reception admission are separate processes: families must apply again through the normal Reception application route by the normal deadline.
Treat the nursery decision and the later school application as two decisions. A place in the nursery should not be taken as an assurance of a place in the school’s Reception class.
The school’s address is Upper Nidd Street, Leeds Road, Bradford, BD3 9ND. For a direct enquiry, telephone Co-op Academy Penny Oaks on 01274773977.
