Schools in Keighley
Keighley sits in the Aire Valley in the Bradford local authority district, and its 40 schools span a varied geography - the town centre and Ingrow to the south, Silsden and Steeton to the north, and moorland villages such as Haworth, Oxenhope and Stanbury to the west. Bradford Council coordinates admissions for maintained schools and publishes catchment boundary maps annually.
Keighley and the surrounding Worth Valley are strongly associated with the Brontë sisters, drawing families to the village primaries of Haworth and Stanbury. These small schools are popular but have limited capacity; catchment boundaries are tightly drawn and last-offered distances can be very short.
Secondary schools in Keighley include Dixons Kings Academy, Holy Family Catholic School and Greenhead College (sixth form only). Bradford has a legacy of faith-school provision across both primary and secondary phases; families should check each school's admissions criteria carefully, as CofE and Catholic schools apply faith criteria ahead of distance.
School demand in Keighley
