Get Information About Schools (GIAS) is a publicly available resource and can be used to find details about schools, children's centres, academy trusts and sponsors, and school federations in England. The information available is updated by both the Department for Education and by schools themselves, and is updated in GIAS on a daily basis.

These datasets are derived from GIAS to provide a view of open schools in Bradford.

One dataset gives detail of all Bradford schools, including independent, Further Education, and Higher Education settings.
The other dataset excludes these setting to give a list of 'Bradford Local Authority' schools.

The lists include schools whose status is either 'open', or 'due to close' at the time of extraction. The Ofsted rating is taken from GIAS, which in turn aligns to ratings published on the Ofsted website.
