About Brambles Primary Academy

Brambles Primary Academy sits in Kirklees, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score sits at 60. The school’s own most recent data isn’t provided here, but its Ofsted rating of Good places it in the solid middle tier of the 144 primary schools in the borough. Only eight of those schools hold an Outstanding rating, so Brambles is in the majority. The school’s headteacher, Angela Inns, leads a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 4 to 11. With 379 pupils on a capacity of 420, the school is nearly full, and its 30.6 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals is above the national average, suggesting a catchment with above-average levels of disadvantage. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Birkby Infant and Nursery School, just half a kilometre away, so families in this part of Kirklees have a strong local alternative if they’re prioritising that top grade.
