About Field Lane Primary School

Field Lane Primary School in Calderdale is a small state primary with just 81 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, meaning it operates at well under half its potential size. This undersubscription is notable given the school’s location and the local demand for places. Over half the children — 59.2 per cent — are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests the school serves a community with considerable economic disadvantage. Despite this, the school was oversubscribed for Reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round, receiving 11 applications for just 4 places, with all 4 first-preference families offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 2.75 to 1 indicates strong local demand from families who want a place here, even though the school overall has plenty of spare capacity in other year groups.
