About Castleford Three Lane Ends Academy

Castleford Three Lane Ends Academy is a state primary school in Wakefield, a local authority with 113 primary schools. It sits at rank 54 in the LA, placing it in the middle of the pack. The top three peers in the area — Jerry Clay Academy, Horbury Bridge Church of England Junior and Infant Academy, and Larks Hill Junior and Infant School — all share a ranking score of 93, a clear gap from Three Lane Ends’ score of 63. The school is a mixed, non-religious setting for children aged 3 to 11, led by headteacher Delyth Roberts. It has a nursery provision and is notably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, 81 families applied for 45 places, with 42 of those coming as first preferences. That level of demand suggests it holds a strong local reputation, even if its ranking doesn’t place it among the top tier.
