Mount Pleasant Primary School
Huddersfield, HD1 3QP · Kirklees · primary school
33rd 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 — 6.3/10 against 2,192 of them, against 5.1/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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, 65.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Forest School, holodeck, weaving, and choir clubs, and play football, badminton, running, fitness, tennis, dodgeball, athletics, and basketball. They also watch Manchester United Women’s Football Team at Old Trafford. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 639 pupils in a capacity of 708 places, leaving 69 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading and writing? What does the after-school club offer, and how is it staffed? How does the school plan to maintain its Good rating following the 2022 inspection?
