Check the area around this school
12th of 25 secondary schools in Kirklees we can score, 27 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.1/10 against 780 of them, against 4.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 40.6 · 39 | 30% | 1.17 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.11 · 58 | 25% | 1.44 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 47.2 · 56 | 10% | 0.56 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The school is judged as “Good” across all inspection categories, with an “ambitious” curriculum that is “well sequenced” to help pupils acquire key knowledge and skills.
Strengths

- Governors are “heavily involved in the life of the school” and help leaders take account of “staff workload and well-being”.
Areas to improve
