John Gaskin said: "I am pleased that the Joint Area Review has judged Children's Services in the District to be doing a good job, and that the role of schools, supported by Education Bradford, in improving the performance of pupils at the end of Key stages 2 and 4 has been recognised. We need to maintain the rate of improvement for these key stages and accelerate the rate for Key Stages 1 and 3 and ensure that the services of all partners focus on helping the most disadvantaged of our learners to achieve as highly as they can."
