About Diamond Wood Community Academy

Diamond Wood Community Academy was rated Good overall in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school, which serves children aged 3 to 7 in Kirklees, also received a Good rating for leadership and management and for early years provision. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 results because its pupils are too young, the most informative metric available is the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment, which sits at 60. This provides a useful benchmark for parents considering the school's feeder destinations. The school's most recent ungraded inspection in October 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained, and the inspection report is publicly available. With 361 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, the school is effectively full, and oversubscription data for the 2025/26 intake shows 95 applications for 81 places, with 80 first-preference offers made.
