Ossett Flushdyke Junior and Infant School

Ossett, WF5 9AN · Wakefield · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
3.6/10 Broadly average

67th of 98 primary schools in Wakefield we can score, 113 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 3,926 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9/10 among them, against 2.8/10 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, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, last inspected in 2022-11. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9 out of 10 among them, against 2.8 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join football, choir, and gymnastics clubs. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.

Getting in. The school has 111 pupils in a building with 105 places, meaning it is over capacity by 6. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating over its stated capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications for the next academic year? Since the last inspection was in 2022, what specific improvements have been made to raise the percentage of pupils reaching the higher standard? How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in core subjects?
