Hade Edge Junior, Infant and Nursery School
About Hade Edge Junior, Infant and Nursery School
Hade Edge Junior, Infant and Nursery School sits well below the Kirklees local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 60%, but at Hade Edge only 33% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That places the school 91st out of 94 primary schools in Kirklees, putting it in the bottom 5% locally and the bottom 5% nationally. The gap is starkest in maths, where just 42% of pupils met the expected standard compared with a much higher proportion across the borough. Reading fares better, with 83% reaching the expected level and 25% achieving a higher standard, but writing and maths both lag significantly. The school’s overall Ofsted rating of Requires Improvement, from a November 2023 inspection, reflects these academic concerns, with leadership and management and the quality of education both judged to require improvement.
