Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2022 Inspected 4 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
4.1/10 Broadly average

62nd of 99 primary schools in Kirklees we can score, 144 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 — 7.2/10 against 2,458 of them, against 6.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in February 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.1 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 202 pupils in a capacity of 275, leaving 73 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to address the "Requires improvement" rating from 2022? What specific support is available for pupils who have not reached the expected standard? How do you manage class sizes with 73 spare places available?
