Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
6.1/10 Broadly average

24th of 76 primary schools in Calderdale we can score, 82 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 the 4,288 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7/10 among them, against 6.6/10 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, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7 out of 10 among them, against 6.6 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 47 pupils in a building with 119 places, leaving 72 spare spots. This means there is real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than the school is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What does the daily timetable look like for a child in a class significantly smaller than the building’s capacity? How does the school maintain engagement when the pupil population is less than half of its maximum?
