About Clough Head Junior and Infant School

Clough Head Junior and Infant School is a small state primary in Kirklees, with 75 pupils on roll against a capacity of 84, meaning it is not full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.7%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools. Despite its size, the school is heavily oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year: it received 47 applications for just 7 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 6.71 to one. All 7 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the sheer volume of total applications suggests strong local demand. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children aged 4 to 11. Headteacher Claire Kenworthy leads a team that has recently seen the school's Ofsted rating improve from Requires Improvement to Good, following a graded inspection in February 2020 and an ungraded inspection in February 2025 that confirmed standards were being maintained.
