South Crosland Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior School
Huddersfield, HD4 7HF · Kirklees · primary school
69th 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 the 4,220 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 51.0 · 21 | 40% | 0.84 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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, 51.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. 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 participate in swimming, National Sports day, and Active Week, alongside concerts and performances. The school does not offer a breakfast club or an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 228 pupils in a school with 240 places, leaving 12 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With results below the national median, how does the school support pupils who are not reaching expected standards in maths? Since there is no wraparound care, what options exist for parents who need support before or after the school day? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a pupil population that is fairly full?
