About Crowlees Church of England Voluntary Controlled Junior and Infant School

Crowlees Church of England Voluntary Controlled Junior and Infant School sits within the Kirklees local authority, where it ranks 82nd out of 144 primary schools of the same type. That places it in the bottom half of the LA, well behind the three top-performing peers nearby: Carlton Junior and Infant School, Netherthong Primary School, and St Peter's Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior, Infant and Early Years School. Despite this ranking, Crowlees has held an Outstanding rating from Ofsted since its most recent graded inspection in November 2021, when inspectors awarded the top grade across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The school's previous inspection, back in 2007, also rated it Outstanding overall. With a capacity of 420 pupils and exactly 420 on roll, Crowlees is full to the brim, and its Church of England character gives it a distinct identity within the local primary landscape.
