EnglandKeighley

Schools in Keighley

Stone-built mill terraces and Victorian weaving sheds step up from the River Aire through Keighley's compact centre, where the older industrial fabric sits alongside inter-war housing estates spreading across the lower slopes of the moors. The town lies in West Yorkshire between Airedale and Keighley Moors, the second-largest settlement in the City of Bradford Borough with around 57,000 residents.

Cross Hills and Oakworth are among the most sought-after pockets for school catchments, drawing families who value the more rural fringe of the borough, while Braithwaite has long been a school-competitive corner of Keighley. Steeton and Lothersdale extend the residential spread westwards towards Craven. Northern Rail connects the town to Bradford Interchange and Leeds in under forty minutes, with the heritage Keighley and Worth Valley Railway linking south into the Worth Valley villages.
