About Crossley Fields Junior and Infant School

Crossley Fields Junior and Infant School in Kirklees was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection from December 2022, but the detail tells a more interesting story. The school earned Outstanding grades for both early years provision and personal development, while behaviour and attitudes, quality of education, and leadership and management were all judged Good. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — 53% sat at that benchmark in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results. That figure sits below the Kirklees local authority average of 60%, placing the school 66th out of 94 primary schools in the area and in the bottom half nationally. However, individual subject scores tell a slightly different picture: 79% of pupils hit the expected standard in reading and 78% in maths, both solid figures, though writing lagged at 58%.
