Meltham Moor Primary School
Holmfirth, HD9 5LH · Kirklees · primary school
4th 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 — 9.7/10 against 2,312 of them, against 9.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 90.0 · 98 | 40% | 3.90 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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, 90.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 14.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Moor Fun and Wraparound Club, and attend a PGL Residential Trip.
Getting in. The school has 194 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 16 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 in maths? What specific activities take place during the Wraparound Club? How does the school manage the transition for the 16 new places each year?
