About Central Street Infant and Nursery School

Central Street Infant and Nursery School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s overall effectiveness, quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management were all rated Good. The one area that fell short was early years provision, which was judged as Requires improvement. With just 69 pupils on roll against a capacity of 90, this is a small, intimate setting for children aged 3 to 7. The school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 24 applications for 10 places, with all 10 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.4. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, even if the school does not rank among Calderdale’s top-performing primaries on the available metrics.
