General Information

Address: Longcroft, Almondbury, Huddersfield, HD5 8XW – View on map
Phone: 01484431700
Website: Visit school website
Headteacher: Mrs Sarah Wilson
Age range: 4-11 years
Sixth form: No
Intake: Mixed

Nursery provision: No

Who goes here

183 pupils out of 210 places

Pupils eligible for free school meals: 64
% eligible for free school meals: 35.0%
Pupil mix: 4 in 10 (less mixed than the Kirklees average)
English as an additional language: 4% (England 22%)

Staff

Teachers leaving each year

Teacher turnover: 15.7% a year (Kirklees 13.8%, typical in England 13.9%)
Where they went: about 0% moved to another school, 100% left state schools altogether (retirement, other careers, independent schools, abroad)
Data years: 2022/23 to 2024/25 (average of 3 years, DfE school workforce census)

Teachers who moved school or left state schools in the year after each November, as a share of all the school's teachers. Some turnover is healthy – retirements, promotions, moving house. This is a small staff, so one or two teachers leaving moves the figure a lot.

Behaviour

Awaiting Data

About this Behaviour status

We've asked this school for real behaviour figures under Freedom of Information and haven't had a response yet.

Across Kirklees: suspensions by reason

Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 8 (0.2 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 0
Suspensions for bullying: 13 (0.4 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 2 (0.1 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.0)
Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state primary schools in Kirklees, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.

Attendance

Overall absence: 5.0%
Persistently absent pupils: 12.2%
Data year: 2024/25

About persistent absence

A pupil is counted as "persistently absent" if they miss 10% or more of their possible school sessions - roughly one day in every two weeks. Schools and Ofsted both pay close attention to this figure specifically, since it can highlight a pattern the overall absence rate alone might hide.

SEN

No dedicated Unit or Resourced Provision

SEN Unit and Resourced Provision

Most mainstream schools don't have a dedicated SEN Unit or Resourced Provision - it isn't a mark against a school that doesn't, just a different kind of setup than one that does.

Pupils on SEN Support: 25.1%
Pupils with an EHC Plan: 5.5%
Data year: 2025/26

Most common needs - SEN Support

Speech, language and communications needs: 25 pupils
Social, emotional and mental health: 16 pupils
Specific learning difficulty: 1 pupil
SEN support but no specialist assessment of type of need: 1 pupil
Other difficulty or disability: 1 pupil

Most common needs - EHC Plan

Speech, language and communications needs: 6 pupils
Social, emotional and mental health: 3 pupils
Autistic spectrum disorder: 1 pupil

These figures show the makeup of the school.

About these SEND figures

These figures give a sense of the makeup of the school - they aren't a judgement on the quality of support provided.

Educational Attainment

Ofsted report card January 2026

Ofsted's new report cards grade each part of school life separately, instead of giving one overall word.

Safeguarding Met
Inclusion Urgent improvement
Curriculum and teaching Urgent improvement
Achievement Urgent improvement
Attendance and behaviour Expected standard
Personal development and wellbeing Needs attention
Early years Needs attention
Leadership and governance Urgent improvement

Before this, under the old system, Ofsted rated the school Good (2021). The report card above replaces that grade.

How Ofsted report cards work

Since November 2025, Ofsted grades each area of a school on its own five-point scale, and no longer gives a single word like “Good” or “Outstanding”. Safeguarding (keeping children safe) is simply met or not met.

Exceptional The very best practice nationally
Strong standard Above what Ofsted expects
Expected standard What Ofsted expects of every school
Needs attention Some weaknesses the school needs to fix
Urgent improvement Serious weaknesses needing urgent action

“Expected standard” is a sound result – it's what Ofsted expects a good school to do. Report cards aren't directly comparable with the old single grades, which is why we don't turn them into one.

Year 6 SATs results

Met the expected standard in reading, writing & maths: 56% (England 62%)
Reached the higher standard: 0% (England 8%)
Compared with the area: 5 percentage points below the Kirklees average (61%)
Compared with schools with similar pupils: Well below (3-year average 46% against an expected 58%)
3-year average (expected standard): 46%
Expected standard by subject: Reading 63% · Writing 70% · Maths 70% · Grammar, punctuation & spelling 56%
Average test scores: reading 104, maths 102
Based on: 27 Year 6 pupils, 2024/25

Year 6 SATs ranking

Junior and primary schools in this area, ranked by the % of Year 6 pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (official DfE results, 2024/25). Schools with the same result share a place (shown as =). In small schools one or two children can move a school several places, so treat close positions as roughly equal.
