About Fixby Junior and Infant School
If you're a parent weighing up Fixby Junior and Infant School, the first thing you'll want to know is how other families feel about it. The school doesn't publish a parent-view survey percentage, so that specific signal isn't available, but the oversubscription picture offers a strong clue about local demand. Fixby has a school capacity of 313, and while the data doesn't give a precise oversubscription ratio, its Good Ofsted rating and position within Kirklees suggest it's a popular choice. The school's most recent ungraded inspection in July 2024 confirmed it remains Good, a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2015, which had already lifted it from Requires Improvement. That trajectory matters to parents who want to see a school on an upward path. The headteacher, Claire Allen, leads a mixed, non-religious primary for children aged 4 to 11, and the school does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form.
