Poplars Farm Primary School, Bradford | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

My experience of working with Poplars Farm Primary and Mrs Speak (the headteacher) in particular has been second to none. Mrs Speak, the teachers and the admin staff have always gone that extra mile to help and support myself and my boys. I feel incredibly blessed to have my children in a school that has such positive and open communication with the parents. I have found the school to be very supportive, understanding, helpful and considerate in all of my dealings with them. Keep up the great work Poplars!!

Very happy with the progress of my children at Poplars. New head teacher has raised standards and is actively involved.

There are also many positive changes which have improved learning and also bridged the gap between parents and teachers.

My children have grown in confidence due to extra curriculum activities, giving them the platform to grow and shine.

The dedication, commitment and encouragement from the head teacher Mrs speak and all staff (particularly reception teachers) has been tremendous.

Feel very grateful to have a well run and always improving school for my children.

We were considering moving out of Bradford due to poor schooling but Mrs Speak has changed our views on schools in Bradford

The breakfast club and after school care has also helped in our hectic working lives with better work life balance.

Thank you everyone at Poplars Farm.

I had a few issues regarding my childs schooling recently in which I approached the head to discuss these concerns.

I found the head teacher (Mrs Speak) to be very apathetic and made me feel very uncomfortable. Mrs Speak was very abrupt and did not seek to resolve my issues. She has lost my confidence in the school in being able to deal with matters effectively and in an understanding way.

I have previously highly recommended this school, however since dealing with the new head my views have totally changed. My children have been attending this school since 2006 and I’ve never been made to feel like this before. This was my first interaction with the new head and to my disappointment a very disappointing one.

A serious incident took place within the school which I felt was not dealt with professionally or appropriately, leaving me to feel very uncomfortable in allowing my child to continue attending this school.

On the surface the school may present itself well with the adaptions they are making recently, however this is all fruitless if the head teacher cannot build a good relationship with the parents when matters arise.

the school changed totally. since the new Headteacher arrived, now we all feel there is someone listen to our concerns and take an action. I wish all the best for all teachers and I’m really happy to see this school in the new building (coming soon) well done Poplars Farm School

Fantastic School just needs to expand a little, every year has one class and the children are taught to a decent standard . The class rooms could do with more space apart from this I can’t think of anything else.
