Mixed Primary
6.4/10 Broadly average

12th 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 — 7.3/10 against 2,753 of them, against 6.4/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 68.0 · 60 62% 3.70
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 11.0 · 71 38% 2.72

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

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%. The higher standard was reached by 11.0%. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join football, archery, and athletics clubs, alongside a breakfast club and after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 297 pupils in a capacity of 322, leaving 25 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific activities are available in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for children moving between the infant and junior phases?
